Questions and Answers about DL05 Micro PLCs
Q. What is the instruction set like?
A. The instruction set is very close to our popular DL240 CPU. However, there are
significant additions, such as the drum instruction, networking, and High-Speed I/O
capabilities.
Q. Do I have to buy the full DirectSOFT programming package to program the DL05?
A. No. We offer a DL05-specific version of DirectSOFT that’s very affordable.
Q. Is the DL05 expandable?
A. No, the DL05 series are stand-alone PLCs. However, our DL205 system is
expandable, yet very compact and affordable.
Q. Does the DL05 have motion control capability?
A. Yes. The High-Speed I/O features offer either encoder inputs with high-speed
counting and presets with interrupt, or a pulse/direction output for stepper control.
Three types of motion profiles are available, which are explained in Chapter 3.
Q. Are the ladder programs stored in a removable EEPROM?
A. The DL05 contains a non-removable FLASH memory for program storage, which
may be written and erased thousands of times. You may transfer programs to/from
DirectSOFT on a PC, or the HPP (which does support a removable EEPROM).
Q. Does the DL05 contain fuses for its outputs?
A. There are no output circuit fuses. Therefore, we recommend fusing each channel,
or fusing each common. See Chapter 2 for I/O wiring guidelines.
Q. Is the DL05 Micro PLC U.L.R approved?
A. The Micro PLC has met the requirements of UL (Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc.),
and CUL (Canadian Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc.).
Q. Does the DL05 Micro PLC comply with European Union (EU) Directives?
A. The Micro PLC has met the requirements of the European Union Directives (CE).
