DirectLOGIC Micro Programmable Logic Controller (DL05 PLC)

Would a $128.00 micro PLC with incredible features solve your application's discrete and process control problems?

The DL05 and the DL06 DirectLOGIC 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 DirectLOGIC DL05 PLC offers many features including:

Eight built-in inputs and six built-in outputs, expandable to 30 I/O total
Eight combinations of AC or DC powered PLC units with AC, DC and relay I/O
6 KB program and data memory
Two communication ports
Supports MODBUS RTU master/slave, DeviceNET slave, Proibus slave and Ethernet networking
129 instructions, including four PID loops
Powerful functions like FOR/ NEXT loops, subroutines, and drum sequencers
Smallest I/O cards in the micro class
Removable terminal block connectors
Compatible with AutomationDirect ZIPLink wiring connection systems for 16-point discrete versions

DL05: Super Powerful and Only $128.00

Super low prices

starting at $128.00! 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 $60.00

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.

DL05 Expands to Support Analog

Really low prices

Combine a $86.00 4-channel analog input module with our $128.00 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.
