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.

Your first priority when designing a process control system should be safety. Please make sure that all of the automation components in your system will operate within the product’s environmental and operating specifications. Before you begin selecting products for your DL205 PLC system, be sure to evaluate all of your application needs and any future growth potential. .

STEP 1: Review the DL205 family of products:
The DL205 family offers a wide variety of products. Please review the product offerings, including:

CPUs
PLC programming tools (DirectSoft5 Programming Software or Handheld Programmer)
Bases (3, 4, 6 or 9-slot)
Local expansion modules
Discrete input modules (DC and AC input)
Discrete output modules (DC, AC and relay output)
Combination discrete modules
Analogue modules (Analogue input, analogue ouput, combination analogue in/out, temperature input)
Communications/networking modules (Ethernet or data communications modules)
Remote I/O modules (Ethernet or serial)
Specialty modules (Basic CoProcessor, Input Simulator, Counter I/O, Counter Interface)
CPU-slot slave controllers (Ethernet Base Controller, DeviceNET slave, Profibus slave, SDS slave)
Operator Interfaces (C-micro/Optimate text panels or C-more Touch panels and configuration software)
Connection systems (DINnector terminal blocks, ZIPLink connection systems and other accessories)

STEP 2: Select a CPU, PLC programming tool, and appropriate cables:
The DL205 PLC family offers four CPUs: the D2-260, D2-250-1, D2-240 and D2- 230. The WinPLC, a Windows® CE-based CPU, is also covered in this step. Please take the time to understand the features and specifications of each CPU model (i.e. built-in communications ports protocols, instructions, etc.). To program the DL205 CPUs, choose between the Windows-based DirectSOFT5 PLC programming software and PC cable or a handheld programmer. The WinPLC requires Entivity Studio or Think & Do Live for programming. CPU-slot slave base controllers are also introduced in this step.

STEP 3: Determine if additional communication ports are needed:
If your application requires more than the built-in CPU communications ports, then select the H2-ECOM Ethernet Communications Module or the D2-DCM Serial Communications Module. These modules add more ports for networking or connection to an HMI (Human Machine Interface), etc. The H2-SERIO serial communications module can be used with the WinPLC to add more communications ports.

STEP 4: Select the appropriate discrete, analogue and specialty I/O modules:
Since there are several different types of I/O and speciality modules available for the DL205 PLC system, it is important to review the module specifications in detail when selecting them for your process control system. The hardware specifications for the modules can be reviewed by clicking on the pdf datasheet link by each product.

STEP 5: Choose an I/O configuration method:
The DL205 PLC products offer several configurations of I/O. Choose among local I/O, local expansion I/O and remote I/O.
A DL205 system can be developed using a combination of the configuration arrangements. It is important to understand the octal addressing scheme and I/O module placement restrictions that are described in this step (See manual).

STEP 6: Check the power budget:
It is very important to verify that the selected CPU and I/O modules will operate within the base power budget. Tables are provided that list the power supplied and consumed by each DL205 PLC device. This step also describes base dimensions and mounting requirements. Calculate the power budget
