An Omron SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) operates by taking an AC input and converting it into a DC output. In simple terms, it accepts Alternating Current (AC) from the mains supply and converts it into Direct Current (DC) required to power electronic circuits, sensors, PLCs, and other automation components. This conversion ensures that machines and control devices receive a stable and regulated DC voltage for consistent performance.
Omron SMPS units, such as the S8VK-G, S8VK-S, and S8FS-C series, are designed to handle a wide range of AC input voltages, typically 100–240 V AC, and provide precise DC outputs like 24 V DC or 12 V DC. They are built with high efficiency, compact design, and protection features such as overload, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection. These SMPS models are used extensively in control panels and industrial automation systems to ensure reliable power delivery. So, while Omron SMPS takes AC as input, its output is DC, making it a key power conversion device in modern industrial setups.
