Built-in communications
to operator interfaces, PLC networking, and more. The D2-250-1 and D2-260 CPUs offer two built-in communication ports that support a wide array of devices.
Telephone modem support
- the industrial telephone modem (MDM-TEL) allows access to PLC data and programs via a telephone line. The rugged industrial telephone modem mounts on a DIN-rail and easily connects to the DL205 PLCs.
Custom communications
built by you with the F2-CP128 universal communication CoProcessor module. Create custom BASIC programs to interface to barcode readers, VF drives, or other intelligent devices.
Built-in ASCII
The D2-260 CPU supports ASCII input and ASCII output. Powerful fill-in-the-blank instructions are used within the RLL program to allow easy communication to or from ASCII devices.
Industrial Ethernet switch/hub
for more deterministic communications. The E-SW05U hub/switch is DIN-rail mountable and connects DL205, DL405 or Terminator I/O and GS1 and GS2 drives (via the GS-EDRV Ethernet drive card), all on the same network.
Ethernet communications
to program multiple PLCs and touch panels over Ethernet, or have multiple touch panels connected to a single PLC with the H2-ECOM module. For super-high speed peer communications between PLCs or to a PC, use the H2-ECOM100 for 100 Mbit rates.
