The DirectLOGIC 06 (DL06) programmable logic controller (PLC) is our first micro PLC to combine its fixed I/O of 20 inputs and 16 outputs with four option card slots for expansion (discrete, analog, communication modules), all in the same package. With the DL06 micro PLC, you can use the same PLC panel layout for all applications from 36 to 100 I/O.

This powerful micro PLC is ideal for managing a variety of industrial process control applications.

 

Great Fit for Practical On/Off Control

  1. Nine models available
    - The DL06 PLC line includes nine models to choose from in both AC and DC powered models.
  2. Thirty-six built-in I/O points
    - All nine DL06 models include 20 inputs and 16 outputs for a total of 36 built-in discrete I/O in a variety of AC, DC and relay combinations.
  3. Flexible programming
    Our FREE DirectSOFT programming package, PC-DS100,* combined with the powerful DL06 instruction set, makes programming your application simple and affordable
  4. Practical communications
    The DL06 includes two serial communication ports. Port 1 supports programming and HMI. Port 2 can be used for RS-232/422/485 networking or ASCII In/out to other devices.
  5. Discrete I/O option modules
    Starting at only $65.00, these discrete I/O option modules allow the DL06 to expand with the needs of your application for just a few dollars more.
  6. Easy ZIPLink connection
    16-point option modules can connect to a variety of ZIPLink modules, including low-cost feed-through terminals, fuse, LED, and even relay modules.

Analog Control

  • Two-for-one pricing
    - Combine our analog I/O modules with any DL06 for the lowest-cost analog control in its class. You can buy two DL06 systems for the price of one of our competitors’ systems.
  • C-more panels
    offer a low-cost window into your application. Our C-more panels have some of the best features in the market for process HMI applications.
  • Direct wiring
    with the analog option modules to most common analog devices such as pressure and level transmitters, proportional valves, AC drives, panel meters, etc.
  • Eight PID loops with “auto-tune”
    The DL06 supports its great analog capabilities with PID and floating point math at no additional charge.
  • Powerful communications
    - built-in and expansion. Combine a DL06 AC or DC-powered unit with our industrial telephone modems and avoid the high cost of an advanced Remote Telemetry System (RTU).
  • Seven analog modules
    to choose from including 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA, and 0-5V or 0-10V input and output ranges. DL06 analog modules are the smallest and lowest-priced in the industry.

Communications-enabled applications

  • Flexible communications
    - The most flexible ports in its class. The DL06 has two built-in communication ports. Port 2 has the same communication capabilities as many larger PLCs.
  • Connect directly to ASCII devices
    The DL06 allows you to easily perform ASCII operations at no additional charge!
  • Versatile programming port
    can also be used for operator interface. After programming is complete, use this port to connect to a C-more panel for a low cost HMI solution.
  • Ethernet connectivity
    DL05/ 06 H0-ECOM Ethernet Modules provide a 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit Ethernet link for peer-to-peer PLC communications and for data serving to HMI/SCADA systems using OPC over Ethernet.
  • ASCII and Modbus
    fill-in-the-blanks instructions. The DL06 includes easy-to-use communication instructions for Modbus and ASCII operations.

 

 

The DL06 CPU offers PID capability, high-speed counting, floating point number handling, and an instruction set very similar to our larger DL205 D2-260 CPU. Many powerful instructions are included.

All DL06 PLCs have two built-in communication ports that can be used for programming, operator interface, networking, etc. One of the DL06 ports is a multi-function port capable of RS232C, RS422, or RS485 communication.

Features include:

  • 14.8 KB of total memory
  • 229 instructions, including 8 PID loops
  • Two communication ports, including RS232/ 422/ 485 capability
  • Supports networking for MODBUS RTU master/slave, Ethernet, DeviceNET slave, Profibus slave, and ASCII in/out
  • Integrated high-speed inputs and pulse output
  • Thermocouple and RTD temperature inputs
  • Built-in real-time clock/calendar
  • Optional LCD display for operator interface or maintenance troubleshooting
