DirectLOGIC 305 Programmable Logic Controller (DL305 PLC)

The DL305 PLC series is a small modular PLC that has been marketed by various name-brand PLC manufacturers for over 24 years.
This Koyo design revolutionized the small PLC market, and is still a good performer and a great value.
Over 3,000,000 Koyo 305 modules have been sold, which shows that these modules are extremely reliable and well-suited for many applications.

• Three standard CPUs to choose from, including the D3-350 CPU with PID control and two communication ports
• Specialty CPUs to convert a DL305 system into an RTU for Optomux, Pamux, or to allow BASIC programming for custom applications
• Five, eight and 10-slot bases
• 110/ 220 VAC or 24 VDC power supply
• AC, DC inputs
• AC, DC, and relay outputs
• Eight or 12-bit analog input/output
• Specialty modules such as ASCII/ BASIC module, high-speed counter, and communication interface module (for use with D3-330 and D3-340 CPUs)
  

The D3-350 CPU has a killer instruction set (compatible with the DL405, DL205, DL105, and DL05 PLC families) and some super practical communications.
The D3-350 CPU uses a simplified I/O addressing method, and can access up to twice as much local I/O as any other DL305 configuration (when installed in a system with -1 bases).

Features include:

• Real-time calendar/ clock and historical error logging
• Trigger events in logic or time-and-date stamp error conditions
• Four super-easy PID loops with 'auto-tune' allow the CPU to automatically determine the near-optimum loop settings
• Automatic loop scheduling reduces logic required to operate loops
• Fill-in-the-blank chart for alarms and ramp/ soak
• Programming software includes loop tune screen with trending
• Two communication ports include built-in remote I/O master for long-distance I/O expansion

DL305 Bases start at $209.00
