2-for-1 prices on Analog I/O
gives the DL205 a cost advantage on small and large I/O systems.
Often, you can buy two of our modules for the price of a single Allen-Bradley CompactLogix module.
Analog I/O modules
- the DL205 offers 17 different analog modules to connect to almost any signal
including 4-20ma, 0-5V, 0-10V, +/-5V, +/-10V, T/Cs, RTDs for devices such as pressure transmitters, proportional valves, AC drives, panel meters and more.
Built-in connectivity
for operator interface, device networking, and ASCII communications.
The D2-250-1 and D2-260 offer two built-in communication ports. Connect a text panel or touch panel
to one port and a bar code reader or scale to the second port. The bottom port also supports networking
protocols such as DirectNET and Modbus RTU master/slave.

C-more touch panels
for a low cost window into the application.
Features include factory symbol library, PID faceplates, recipe download
objects, meters, trend graphs, bar graphs, thumbwheel switch objects, data logging and more.
Ethernet
supports high end computer systems for high speed HMI and supervisory control.
H2-ECOM and H2-ECOM-F 10Base-T and fiber optic Ethernet communication modules are available. The H2-ECOM100 offers 100 Mbit speed.
Built-in PID with auto-tune
and fill-in-the-chart alarms, ramp/soak, automatic loop scheduling.
The D2-260 with 16 built-in PID loops, and D2-250-1 with four built-in PID loops, allow PID control with ease.
The loop auto-tuning lets the CPU automatically determine near optimum loop settings.
