PLCs & CPUs

Five series of DirectLOGIC controllers are offered as complete PLC units with built-in I/O or as rack-based controllers with the CPU and I/O housed in a base unit. Each series provides different I/O capacities and communication options, and available components are intended to support existing installations.

DirectLOGIC PLCs are not intended for new system development, please consider our latest lines of controllers (Do-more, Productivity, or CLICK) for new installations.

DL05 Series PLCs

The DL05 micro-PLC line offers PLC units with 8 built-in discrete inputs and 6 discrete outputs. One option slot allows the addition of analog I/O, discrete I/O, additional communications, or a memory module with real-time clock and battery back-up.

100-240 VAC or 12-24 VDC powered versions
Embedded I/O combinations include AC-in/AC-out, AC-in/DC-out, DC-in/DC-out, and DC-in/relay-out
Expandable to 30 I/O points total
Support for Modbus RTU, DeviceNET, and Modbus TCP (when used with the ECOM100 module)

DL06 Series PLCs

DL06 PLC base units include 20 built-in inputs and 16 built-in outputs. DL06 PLCs also have four option card slots for expansion (discrete, analog, communication modules) and supports up to 100 I/O points total.

Two built-in communication ports with RS232/422/485 capability
Supports networking for Modbus RTU, DeviceNET, ASCII, and Modbus TCP (when used with the ECOM100 module)
