Automation Direct D2-230 Programmable Controller

Automation Direct's D2-230 is the DirectLogic 205 DL230 CPU module for DL205-based PLC systems, delivering 2k words of ladder-logic memory and a single RS-232 RJ12 serial port for programming and communications. This CPU is a discontinued item in AutomationDirect's catalog and is typically replaced by the D2-250-1 in newer lines. When paired with a D2-DCM data communications module, the D2-230 can operate as a slave, enabling networked control alongside other DL205 components. In compact automation projects, the D2-230 handles straightforward ladder logic, basic sequencing, and I/O control with reliable, entry-level processing power. If you’re evaluating a DL205 retrofit or maintaining existing inventory, verify compatibility with your DL205 base and ensure your program size fits within the 2k words of ladder memory.
