AutomationDirect - DirectLOGIC Programmable Logic Controller Product Lines (PLCs) Features
DirectLOGIC 105 PLC CPUs
The DL105 series is a fixed-I/O micro PLC with 10 inputs and eight outputs. Eight configurations are available in combinations of AC, DC and relay I/O, as well as AC and DC power supplies.
Features include:
DeviceNET slaves offer affordable I/O nodes
Connect these DeviceNET slaves (F1-DVNET models) to any DeviceNET master for inexpensive nodes of I/O in the following configurations: DC in/Relay out, AC in/Relay out, and DC in/DC out. You get all the same macro I/O features - powerful relays, high-speed I/O modes, plus a built-in RS232 communications port for ASCII device interface.
Use the DL105 micro PLC to:
Build an electronic drum sequencer with 18 I/O and connect an operator interface without paying a high price Drive high-current (up to seven amps) loads with the AC/ relay model Use the high-speed I/O modes of a DC input or output model to perform counting or positioning tasks
NOTES: New option modules may not be supported by CPUs purchased prior to the modules release.
Be sure to check for the latest firmware for your PLC. You can refer to the module specification page on our Web site for this information, or find it in our free catalog.
Here is the direct link to the Firmware Upgrade section of our Web site where you can find the firmware revision histories, the latest files and tools required to download the firmware into your CPU.

AutomationDirect - DirectLOGIC Programmable Logic Controller Product Lines (PLCs) Software
Our powerful Windows-based DirectSOFT programming package is new and improved. With many new instructions, programming is now easier, quicker and more intuitive than ever.
Improved viewing options and customizable tool bars make it easier to program and monitor your PLC system.
With DirectSOFT5, documentation can be exported for use in other applications such as our C-more operator interface panels. User Interface Themes allow operators to create a unique look and feel for the DirectSOFT programming environment. The dockable window feature allows relocation of Cross Reference and Data views. The ability to auto-hide or even tear away views and place them outside the DirectSOFT5 work space optimizes full ladder viewing.
The product offering has been simplified to a full support PC-DSOFT5 package that programs all of our DirectLogic PLCs, and our new PC-DS100 package, which is a full-featured FREE programming package with a 100 word limitation. (DS100 is only available by download from our Web site).
Simplified packages make your selection fast and easy
PC-DSOFT5, the newest DirectSOFT version, has a host of advanced features that make it easier to program your PLC. It supports full-featured 32-bit Windows-certified programming for all six DirectLOGIC PLC families, including all DL05s, DL06s, DL105s, DL205 CPUs, DL305 CPUs, DL405 CPUs, and all of their Koyo cousins. The software supports an incredible array of online/off-line programming and documentation features, as well as our ALL NEW IBox instructions.
PC-DS100 is our all new free full-featured software package that allows a maximum of 100 words for programming, editing, and downloading in any DirectLOGIC CPU. A perfect solution for small applications! Larger programs can be created and saved but NOT reopened or downloaded without upgrading to the full version. FREE [download PC-DS100 at no charge now]

AutoCAD® Compatible Schematic Software
AutomationDirect has partnered with ECT International, Inc. to bring you a new AutoCAD® compatible schematic software product:
The ECT promis•e® Aero package is software for control system design. It generates control system schematics, panel layouts, bills of material, wire lists, terminal plans and more to automate the design process. The promis•e Aero product is available in two versions: AutoCAD Add-on or Stand-alone. The Add-on version runs as an application inside AutoCAD. The Stand-alone version requires no additional CAD software since it includes a 100% DWG compatible graphics engine. All versions of promis•e Aero can share work files with the full-featured versions of promis•e. A truly international solution, promis•e Aero fully supports both IEC/ DIN and ANSI/ JIC page and symbol formats. Dialogs and menus can be set for various languages including English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. See the Overview section for the "AutoCAD Schematic S/W" category under "Software Products" for more details on this product.
