AutomationDirect D2-230 Direct Logic CPU Module

The AutomationDirect D2-230 Direct Logic CPU Module is a DL205-series central processing unit designed for compact PLC control tasks. It provides 2.4K words of total program memory and 2,048 words of ladder memory, with 256 words of V-memory and 128 words of non-volatile V-memory to store logic and data across power cycles. The CPU supports DirectSOFT programming for Windows and includes a handheld programmer, with RLL and RLLPlus instruction support for flexible ladder logic development. It features an RS-232 serial port at 9,600 baud for programming and basic serial communications, and can operate as a slave when used with a D2-DCM data communications module for remote I/O integration. Boolean execution is listed at 4–6 ms, and base configurations support 3, 4, 6, or 9 slots, enabling scalable I/O expansion within the DL205 family. This CPU is suited for small-to-medium automation tasks requiring reliable, ladder-based control with straightforward programming and serial connectivity.
