AutomationDirect ZL-CMA15L PLC Module

The ZL-CMA15L ZIPLink Port Adapter Communication Module from AutomationDirect is a compact interface that bridges DirectLOGIC PLCs to ZIPLink cabling using an 8-position terminal block to a 15-pin D-sub HD15 connector. It provides LED indicators for transmit and receive activity, a jumper-selectable termination resistor, and built‑in surge protection to help maintain reliable communication in industrial environments. Designed for use with all 15-pin high-density communication ports on DirectLOGIC PLCs, this adapter enables straightforward PLC-to-PLC data exchange and integration with ZIPLink-enabled peripherals or HMI systems. The unit’s rugged construction supports DIN-rail style installations in typical industrial cabinets and is manufactured in Taiwan, with a shipping weight of about 0.08 lb. Core specifications include an 8‑position terminal block to 15‑pin D‑sub HD15 male connection, TX/RX LED indicators, a jumper-controlled termination option, and circuit surge protection, all targeted at enabling robust ZIPLink communications across DirectLOGIC platforms.
