DL05 Micro PLC Components
The DL05 Micro PLC family is a versatile
product line that provides a wide variety of
features in a very compact footprint. The
PLCs are small, yet offer many features
usually found in larger, more expensive
systems. These include a removeable
connector, and two RS-232C
communication ports.
The DL05 Micro PLC family includes eight different versions. All have the same
appearance and CPU performance. The CPU offers the same instruction set as our
popular DL240 CPU, plus several more instructions specifically designed for
machine control applications. All DL05 PLCs have two RS–232C communications
ports. Units with DC inputs have selectable high-speed input features on three input
points. Units with DC outputs offer selectable pulse output capability on the first and
second output points. All DL05 Micro PLCs offer a large amount of program memory,
a substantial instruction set and advanced diagnostics. Details of these features and
more are covered in Chapter 4, CPU Specifications and Operation. The eight types
of DL05 Micro PLCs provide a variety of Input/Output choices, listed in the following
table.

Programming Methods
Two programming methods are available: RLL (Relay Ladder Logic) and RLL
PLUS
.
RLL
PLUS
combines the added feature of flow chart programming (Staget) to the
standard RLL language. Both the DirectSOFT

programming package and the
handheld programmer support RLL
PLUS
as well as standard RLL instructions.
The DL05 Micro PLC can be programmed with one of the most advanced
programming packages in the industry ––DirectSOFT, a Windows-based software
package that supports familiar features such as cut-and-paste between
applications, point-and-click editing, viewing and editing multiple application
programs at the same time, etc.
