OMRON C200HW-SLK13 SYSMAC Link Unit | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The OMRON C200HW-SLK13 is a SYSMAC Link communication unit designed for the C200H/C200HW PLC series. It enables high-speed peer-to-peer data sharing across multiple PLCs on a SYSMAC Link network — a critical component for distributed control architectures in industrial automation. Whether you are maintaining an existing system or planning a migration, this guide covers compatible replacements, equivalent models, and selection criteria.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the C200HW-SLK13 is discontinued or unavailable, the following models may serve as functional replacements depending on your system configuration:
| Model | Series | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| C200HW-SLK23 | C200HW | Optical fiber version; same function, different medium |
| CS1W-SLK11 | CS1 | Upgrade path; requires CS1 CPU rack migration |
| CS1W-SLK21 | CS1 | Optical SYSMAC Link for CS1 series |
| CJ1W-SLK11 | CJ1 | Compact form factor; system migration required |
Note: Cross-series replacements require CPU rack and software compatibility verification. Contact our technical team before ordering.
Why Choose the Original Model

System Compatibility
- Compatible CPUs: C200HX, C200HG, C200HE, C200HS (with C200HW backplane)
- Programming Software: CX-Programmer (SYSMAC Link configuration via CX-Net)
- Network Medium: Coaxial cable (SLK13 variant)
- Max Network Length: 500 m (coaxial); expandable with repeaters
- Not Compatible With: C200H (non-HW) racks, CJ/CS series without adapter
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine the correct model for your application:
- Keep C200HW-SLK13 → If your existing rack is C200HW and you use coaxial SYSMAC Link cabling
- Choose C200HW-SLK23 → If you require optical fiber medium on the same C200HW rack
- Migrate to CS1W-SLK11 → If you are upgrading to CS1 series and need SYSMAC Link continuity
- Migrate to CJ1W-SLK11 → If compact form factor and modern CPU performance are priorities
- Contact us for custom assessment → If your network topology involves mixed series or legacy third-party nodes

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use C200HW-SLK13 in a C200H (non-HW) rack?
A: No. The SLK13 requires a C200HW backplane. Non-HW racks are not compatible.
Q: Is C200HW-SLK13 still in production?
A: This model is in the mature/end-of-life phase. We maintain stock sourced from global MRO channels with full traceability.
Q: Can I mix SLK13 and SLK23 nodes on the same SYSMAC Link network?
A: Yes, coaxial and optical nodes can coexist on the same network using appropriate media converters.
Q: What is the lead time for this unit?
A: Typically 3–7 business days for in-stock units; 2–4 weeks for sourced orders. Contact us for real-time availability.
Q: Do you provide a test report or inspection certificate?
A: Yes. Functional test reports and certificates of conformity are available upon request at no additional charge.
