DL05 PLC Motion and Specialty Modules

Need help selecting a PLC family?
Use our selection tool to configure and order.

DirectLOGIC 05 PLCs support specialized modules such as intelligent high-speed I/O and CoProcessors. High-speed modules can track or supply 250kHz pulse rates ideal for precise counting or motion control, while BASIC CoProcessor modules interface with bar code readers, printers and other serial devices. Simulator and memory modules are also offered.

DL05 PLC - Motion and Specialty Modules

Koyo Direct LOGIC DL05/DL06 Specialty Modules

Expand the capabilities of the DL05 PLC with Motion and Specialty Modules

F0-CP128 - Triple-port BASIC, ASCII Overdrive CoProcessor Module
H0-CTRIO2 - High-speed Counting / Pulse Output Module
F0-08SIM - Input Simulator Module
D0-01MC - Memory Cartridge

DirectLOGIC DL05 (and DL06) PLCs can be customized to fit the requirements of applications by adding option modules in the built-in slots.

There is one option module slot for the DL05 and four option module slots for the DL06 PLC.
Features are added without increasing the footprint (size) of the PLC.

Direct Logic DL05/DL06 PLC Co-Processor Module

F0-CP128 Triple-port BASIC, ASCII Overdrive CoProcessor Module

Triple-port BASIC, ASCII Overdrive CoProcessor Module interfaces the DL05/06 family of DirectLOGIC programmable controllers with bar code readers, operator interface terminals, instrumentation equipment, computers and other serial devices.

Extended BASIC and ABM Commander for Windows software for PCs makes program development fast and simple.
Non-volatile memory of up to 128 K allows multiple program storage and execution, DL05/06 register expansion, and retentive data storage and retrieval.
100 MHz BASIC CoProcessor provides fast program execution independent of the CPU scan.
Three buffered ports allow connection to two RS-232 devices and 32 RS-485 devices.
A real-time clock/calendar maintains time/date with battery backup when power outages occur. Programmable time-based BASIC interrupts to 5 ms.
Direct access of up to 256 bytes of DL05/06 CPU memory per scan is possible. No supporting ladder logic is required.
Floating point math solves complex formulas to eight significant digits.
An RJ12 Port 1 and Port 3 splitter is included with the module. This will provide easy connection of RS-232 cables to both Port 1 and Port 3. (If you are using RTS1 and CTS1 for port 1, then port 3 is not available.)

Applications - BASIC CoProcessors are designed for use with intelligent devices such as:

Bar code readers
Welders
Board level controllers
Serial printers
Intelligent sensors
Almost any device with an RS-232C or RS-485 port

The F0-CP128 Triple-port BASIC, ASCII Overdrive CoProcessor Module is $229.00

Triple-port BASIC Co-Processor Module Overview

H0-CTRIO2 High-speed Counting / Pulse Output Modules

H0-CTRIO2 High-Speed Counter I/O modules are designed to accept high speed pulse-type input signals for counting or timing applications and to provide high speed pulse-type output signals for stepper/servo motor control, monitoring, alarm or other discrete control functions.

H0-CTRIO2 - 250kHz High Speed Counter I/O Module
H0-CTRIO2 modules offer great flexibility for applications that call for precise counting or timing, based on an input event or for high-speed control output applications.
H0-CTRIO2 modules have their own microprocessor and operate asynchronously from the PLC/controller. This means that the on-board outputs respond in real time to incoming signals so there is no delay waiting for the PLC/controller to scan I/O.
H0-CTRIO2 modules are designed to work with incremental encoders or other field devices that send pulse outputs. You can use the H0-CTRIO2 modules with any of the DirectLOGIC DL05 or DL06 PLCs.
All scaling and configuration is done via CTRIO Workbench, a Windows software utility program.

D0-01MC - DL05 Memory Cartridge

D0-01MC - The D0-01MC memory cartridge slides easily into the option card slot in any DL05 PLC to back up PLC programs and data for extended periods of time.

Battery-backed program and data memory protects data during extended power removal. If you need longer retention of program data, we recommend the D0-01MC. We also recommend the D0-01MC for applications that require transferring programs without a programming device or that require a real-time clock. The real-time clock/calendar is useful for event scheduling ordata logging applications.
Upload/ download from cartridge to local memory allows quick CPU program loading without the need for software or a handheld device.

The D0-01MC DL05 PLC Memory Cartridge is

NOTE:

New option modules may not be supported by older CPUs purchased prior to the module's release.
Be sure to check for the latest firmware for your PLC. You can refer to the module specification page on our Web site for this information, or find it in our free catalog.
Here is the direct link to the Firmware Upgrade section of our Web site where you can find the firmware revision histories, the latest files and tools required to download the firmware into your CPU.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: Can I control a servo/ stepper motor with a DirectLOGIC PLC?

The answer is YES. The DL05 or DL06 PLC with a counter/ pulse output module (H0-CTRIO or H0-CTRIO2) has two independently configurable timer/ counter channels (up to 100 kHz or 250 KHz) and one pulse output generator (up to 25 kHz or 250 Khz)). An easy-to-use configuration tool is included in the AutomationDirect PLC programming software, so it's simple to integrate with your other application logic. For example, the DirectLOGIC DL05 or DL06 PLCs, using a pulse output signal, work very well with the SureStep stepper systems offered by AutomationDirect, as well as other servo/ stepper system products.

Servo and stepper systems come in many flavors and can be difficult to apply due to application-specific conditions, such as physical inertia of a mass, mechanical windup, mechanical tolerances, friction, etc. Addressing these conditions will typically consume significantly more time and effort than developing the basic programming for the PLC and servo controller. AutomationDirect has simplified the programming of the PLC and H0-CTRIO(2) module that interfaces to the servo or stepper systems. The SureStep microstepping drive offers a simplified drive and stepping motor setup. Together, they can make the positioning or motion control part of your project go more smoothly.
