End-users can add a number of different I\/O modules to this low-cost controller to create configurations that meet their particular needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DirectLogic 405 offers up to 3,500 local or distributed individual remote I\/O points. The I\/O and specific PID (proportional integral derivative control) allows command of processes like position, velocity, and temperature.   One of our earlier blogs talks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/2019\/pid-and-servo-tutorial\/03\/09\/\">more about PID<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DirectLogic 405 Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a modular PLC, the DirectLogic 405 uses specialty and expansion modules to complete the system.   This includes modules like <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>High-Speed Counters<\/li><li>PID Modules<\/li><li>SDS Modules<\/li><li>Input Simulators<\/li><li>4-loop Temperature Controller<\/li><li>Filler Modules<\/li><li>Interrupt Modules<\/li><li>Relay Output Modules<\/li><li>Analog Modules<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The DirectLogic 405 PLC offers three CPU modules.  This includes the DL430, the DL440, and the DL450.  All units offer built-in power supplies and communication ports.  They have built-in diagnostics, significant program memory, and a substantial instruction set.  However, the CPUs vary in initialization speeds, time required to read input status, and communication request speeds.   Also, I\/O support may change between modules.  Additionally, the DL450 has drum timers and built-in PID loops, along with extra communication ports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DirectLogic PLC: Uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The DirectLogic PLC supports 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, 0-5 V, 0-10 V, 1-5 V, +\/-5 V, and +\/-10 V.   As a low-cost controller with a wide number of application options, the DL405 is popular for many applications.  It is widely used in industrial applications where data communications or RTD\/thermocouple inputs are required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1281\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/2021\/directlogic-405-faqs\/01\/04\/standing_d4-430-direct-logic-430\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Standing_D4-430-Direct-Logic-430.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Standing_D4-430-Direct-Logic-430\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Example of Direct Logic 430 which can be bought at AX Control&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Standing_D4-430-Direct-Logic-430-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Standing_D4-430-Direct-Logic-430-1024x768.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Standing_D4-430-Direct-Logic-430-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A DirectLogic 405 CPU.

In comparison, the DL450 includes two network ports.  These can serve as ModBus masters or slaves, or as DirectNET masters or slaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DL430 and the DL440 have two built-in communication ports.  Meanwhile, the DL450 has four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other DirectLogic 405 FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At AX Control we field many questions about our DL405 inventory.  Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do DL405 PLCS offer Ethernet capability?<\/strong>  Yes.  Order an H4-Ecom Module if you require Ethernet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about Modbus protocol?<\/strong>  If you have a DL430 or DL440 CPU, you will need a F4-MAS-MB master or a F4-SLV-MB slave module for Modbus.  However, a DL450 CPU can support Modbus on port 1 or port 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can the DL405 reset to factory defaults? <\/strong>Yes, it can.  We can help with this.  If you are resetting equipment in your possession, we suggest referring to directions in the DL405 manual for taking the CPU back to factory defaults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can AX Control provide PLC training or PLC programming manuals for DL405 products? <\/strong> Our staff is always happy to help our customers with whatever information we have at our disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1282\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/2021\/directlogic-405-faqs\/01\/04\/autodirect-d4-440dc-1-directlogic-440\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AutoDirect-D4-440DC-1-DirectLogic-440.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"AutoDirect-D4-440DC-1-DirectLogic-440\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Direct Logic 405 is a brand provided by AutoDirect and sold by AX Control&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AutoDirect-D4-440DC-1-DirectLogic-440-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AutoDirect-D4-440DC-1-DirectLogic-440-1024x768.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.axcontrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AutoDirect-D4-440DC-1-DirectLogic-440-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A DirectLogic 405 CPU.
