DL105 Micro PLC Components
The DL105 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 removeable
connectors, RS-232C communication
port, and +24V auxiliary power supply.
The DL105 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 DL230 CPU, plus several more instructions specifically designed for
machine control applications. All DL105 PLCs have an RS--232C communications
port, and the AC-powered versions have an aux24V output. Units with DC
inputs have selectable high-speed input features on four input points. Units with DC
outputs offer selectable pulse output capability on the first two output points. All
DL105 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 DL105
Micro PLCs provide a variety of Input/Output choices, listed in the following table.

Programming Methods
Two programming methods are available: a software programming package and a
handheld programmer. The software and the handheld programmer support RLL
(Relay Ladder Logic) and RLL
PLUS
(STAGE) programming.
The DL105 Micro PLC can be programmed with one of the most advanced
programming packages in the industry ---- Direct SOFT5. This is the most recent
version of Direct SOFT, 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.
Direct SOFT universally supports the Direct LOGIC CPU families. This means that
you can use the same Direct SOFT package to program DL05, DL06, DL105,
DL205, DL305, DL405 or any new CPU we may add to our product line. (Upgrade
software may be required for new CPUs as they become available.)
