AutomationDirect DirectLOGIC Micro Programmable Logic Controller (DL05 PLC)
The DL05 and the DL06 product lines are a family of micro PLCs designed to fit more applications than any other PLC family in their class. Starting with the DL05 at 8 inputs/ 6 outputs, all the way up to the fully expanded 100 I/O DL06 PLC, these PLCs are a standard that can grow with the changing needs of your machine or process control applications.

The DL05 and the DL06 product lines are a family of micro PLCs designed to fit more applications than any other PLC family in their class. Starting with the DL05 at 8 inputs/ 6 outputs, all the way up to the fully expanded 100 I/O DL06 PLC, these PLCs are a standard that can grow with the changing needs of your machine or process control applications.

The inexpensive DL05 PLC offers many features including: * Eight inputs and six outputs (integrated), expandable to 30 I/O total * Six I/O models of AC, DC and relay I/O * 2 K program memory * 4 K data memory * Two communication ports * Supports networking for MODBUS RTU master/slave, a DeviceNET slave option module, and an Ethernet option module * Removable terminal block connectors * Six I/O configurations * DC-powered DD and DR models * 129 instructions, including four PID* loops * Powerful functions like FOR/ NEXT loops, subroutines, and drum sequencers * Removable terminal block *NOTE: PID (Proportional, integral, derivative) control: Control algorithm that is used to closely control processes such as temperature, mixture, position, and velocity.

The proportional portion takes care of the magnitude of the error. The derivative compensates for the rate of error change. The integral takes care of small errors over time.

DL05 PLC - OPTION MODULES

A variety of affordable option cards are available. These I/O option cards allow the DL05 or DL06 micro PLCs to expand with the needs of your application for just a few dollars more. Take a look at these features: * Smallest I/O card in its class * 16 models to choose from * Input, output and combination versions * Removable terminal block * Compatibile with our ZIPLink connection systems for 16-point discrete versions The analog modules are among the lowest-priced in the industry. There are several models to choose from, with flexible features, including 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA, and 0-5 V or 0-10 V voltage input and output ranges, thermocouple and RTD temperature inputs. All ranges are jumper selectable and include removable terminal blocks.

High-speed counting and pulse outputs

Selected DL05 micro PLCs offer built-in high-speed input features (on units with DC inputs) and pulse output features (on units with DC outputs). Use the DL05 PLC to solve a diverse range of positioning and high-speed machine control applications. (NOTE: Only one high-speed I/O feature may be in use at one time. You cannot use a high-speed input and the pulse output at the same time.)

Four super-easy PID loops

PID (Proportional, integral, derivative) control: Control algorithm that is used to closely control processes such as temperature, mixture, position, and velocity. The proportional portion takes care of the magnitude of the error. The derivative compensates for the rate of error change. The integral takes care of small errors over time. The DL05 micro PLC comes with PID built right in.

While some of the traditional PLC companies require separate ladder instructions for each loop and for loop scheduling, we make it automatic. * Fill out a chart for alarms and ramp soak * Automatic loop scheduling * Programming software includes the loop tune screen with trending * Loop auto-tuning, which allows the CPU to automatically determine the near-optimum loop settings
