DirectLOGIC Micro Programmable Logic Controller (DL05 PLC)

Super low prices

starting at $141.00! The DL05 micro PLC offers incredible features at a disposable price.

Practical communications

Two RS-232 serial communication ports are included on all models. This allows connectivity to an operator interface and networking with an AC drive or another PLC at the same time.

Simple high-speed counting

or pulse output built in (on specific models). The DL05 includes built-in configurable high-speed I/O. There's no need to purchase a separate motion controller or programmable limit switch (PLS).

Easy ZIPLink connection

The 16-point option modules can connect to ZIPLink modules including feedthrough terminals, fuse, LED and relay.

FREE Software

The new PC-DS100 package has all the features of the full package but is restricted to a 100-word program download.

Memory cartridge only $62.00

with real-time clock for event scheduling or data logging applications. Also battery back-up and integrated upload and download buttons.

Expansion I/O

using an option module adds up to 16 more discrete I/O points. Analog I/O modules are also available.

Network connectivity

advanced networking solutions for the DL05 with a DeviceNet, Ethernet, or Profibus module. The D0-DCM module supports DirectNet and Modbus (slave) protocols.

Really low prices

Combine a $99.00 4-channel analog input module with our $141.00 DL05 PLC for low-cost analog monitoring. Use the built-in PID loops and build a micro control system at an unbeatable price.

Practical connectivity

built-in with two RS-232 serial communication ports. Port 2 supports industry standard Modbus RTU protocol (master and slave at 38.4K baud).

Four PID loops

with auto tuning included at no additional charge. DirectSOFT programming software includes a loop tune screen with trending, and fill-in charts for alarms and ramp/soak profiles.

Low cost RTU system

for almost any remote dial-up application. Combine a DL05 AC- or DC-powered unit with our industrial telephone modem and avoid the high cost of an advanced Remote Telemetry System (RTU).

Analog option modules

The smallest and lowest priced in the industry. Seven models to choose from including RTD and thermocouple.

Low-cost process control

The small size and flexible features of the DL05 PLC make for a great low-cost process control system. Connect a temperature sensor to an analog input module. Then, control process loads like heater elements and/or mixers with DL05 discrete outputs using "time-proportioning" and the built-in PID.
