I/O System Configurations

2 2
The DL05 PLCs offer a number of different I/O configurations. Choose the configuration that
is right for your application, and keep in mind that the DL05 PLCs offer the ability to add an
3 3
I/O card in the option slot. Although remote I/O isn't available, there are several option cards
available. For instance:
4 4
• Various A/C and D/C I/O modules
• Combination I/O modules
5 5
• Analog I/O modules
• Combination Analog I/O modules

A DL05 system can be developed with an arrangement using a selected option modules. See
our DL05/06 Options Modules User Manual (D0-OPTIONS-M) on the website, www.

Networking Configurations

The DL05 PLCs offers the following ways to add networking:
• Ethernet Communications Module s connects a DL05 to high-speed peer-to-peer networks. Any
9 9 PLC can initiate communications with any other PLC or operator interfaces, such as C-more, when
using the ECOM modules.
• Data Communications Modules s connects a DL05 to devices using either DeviceNet or Profibus
10 10
to link to master controllers, as well as a D0-DCM.
• Communications Port 1 s The DL05 has a 6-pin RJ12 connector on Port 1 that supports (as slave)
11 11
K-sequence, Modbus RTU or DirectNET protocols.
• Communications Port 2 s The DL05 has a 6-pin RJ12 connector on Port 2 that supports either
12 12 master/slave Modbus RTU or DirectNET protocols, or K-sequence protocol as slave. Port 2 can also
be used for ASCII OUT communications.
