PLC - Automated Cable Testing

Digital I/O capability has been offered on Cirris cable testers for a number of years. Recently we made Digital I/O easier and more comprehensive on our Signature Touch 1 and 1100R+/H+ series cable testers. When using Digital I/O features on our testers a PLC is often required to enable communication back and forth with other pieces of test equipment.

Cirris has used the 'Direct Logic DL05 Micro PLC' with great success. Because of these successes and the familiarity we have aquired over the years we have decided to offer this model PLC directly from Cirris as a service to our customers who need a PLC.

This inexpensive PLC offers many features. A few of those features are listed below:

• Eight inputs and six outputs (integrated)
• 2 K program memory
• 4 K data memory
• Two communication ports
• Removable terminal block connectors
• Six I/O configurations
• 129 instructions, including four PID loops
• Powerful functions like FOR/ NEXT loops, subroutines, and drum sequencers
