DL205 features

DL205: Great Fit For On/Off Sequential Control
(915kb)	Low prices on I/O gives the DL205 a cost advantage on small and large I/O systems.	Great sequential instructions - Drum instructions are an efficient way to program sequential operations and our drums are made super easy to program with point and click editing.
	Practical built-in communications now includes ASCII in and out. The D2-260 offers two built-in comm ports. Connect a text panel or touch panel to one port and a bar code reader or scale to the second port.	RLL and RLL+ programming Our Relay Ladder Logic (RLL) incorporates intelligent modularized instructions (IBoxes) that perform simple to complex ladder logic. RLL +, or “stage” programming, has instructions to break the program into “stages” or states of a flow chart.
	Expands from 8 I/O to 8,000 I/O Four base sizes can be connected via local expansion I/O, serial remote I/O and Ethernet remote I/O to create a system as large as 8,192 I/O addressed by a single D2-260 CPU.	High-density modules save space and money, and can be wired in seconds using ZIPLinks. ZIPLink products are a very low cost and fast way to wire using feedthrough, relay, fuse and LED terminals.
DL205: Great Fit for Applications with Analogue and PID Control
(755kb)	Really low prices Combine a 4-channel analogue input module with our DL05 PLC for low-cost analogue monitoring. Use the built-in PID loops and build a micro control system at an unbeatable price.	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).
	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).	Analogue option modules The smallest and lowest priced in the industry. Seven 12-bit, and eight fast 16-bit high resolution models to choose from, including RTD and thermocouple.
	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 process control The small size and flexible features of the DL05 make for a great low-cost process control system. Connect a temperature sensor to an analogue input module. Then, control process loads like heater elements and/or mixers with DL05 discrete outputs using "time-proportioning" and the built-in PID.
