Automation Direct D2-260 CPU Module

Automation Direct's D2-260 DL260 CPU Module is the central processing unit for DirectLogic DL205 PLCs, delivering a compact, memory-rich controller for ladder-logic automation tasks. It provides total program memory of 30.4K words, ladder memory of 15,872 words (Flash) and 14,592 words of V-memory, with no non-volatile V-memory. It supports RLL and RLLPLUS programming and is compatible with DirectSOFT for Windows and handheld programmers, enabling straightforward development and debugging. Built-in time-keeping with a real-time clock/calendar supports scheduled operations and time-stamped data. The CPU supports DirectLogic DL205 architectural features such as handheld/Windows programming compatibility and integration with the D2-EM local I/O expansion module for larger I/O needs, while the D2-DCM communication module provides Modbus capability, including slave-mode operation when used with the D2-260. In terms of speed, the D2-260 lists a Boolean execution time around 1.9 ms, reflecting its mid-range performance for ladder logic execution. This CPU module is designed for compact, reliable control in applications like packaging, conveyors, small machine automation, and other line-level control tasks where a DL205-based controller is appropriate, with robust memory for ladder logic, V-memory data, and straightforward interoperability with related DL205 hardware.
