Information About D4-450DC-1

The D4-450DC-1 is a Central Processing Unit (CPU) developed by Automation Direct, specifically designed for the DL405 and DirectLogic 405 series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). As a core component of industrial automation systems, the D4-450DC-1 CPU provides the necessary computational power and control capabilities to manage and execute complex automation tasks. It is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial environments, ensuring reliable and efficient operation in a variety of applications.

One of the key features of the D4-450DC-1 is its built-in memory capacity of 7.5K of Flash Memory. This memory is essential for storing the control programs that dictate the operation of the PLC system. The use of Flash Memory ensures that the stored programs are retained even in the event of a power loss, providing a robust and dependable solution for critical automation tasks. The 7.5K memory capacity allows for the storage of substantial amounts of program data, enabling the execution of complex control algorithms and logic sequences.

In addition to its built-in memory, the D4-450DC-1 supports a total memory capacity of up to 30.8K. This expanded memory capability allows users to store larger programs or multiple programs within the same CPU, providing greater flexibility in how the PLC system is utilized. The ability to accommodate larger memory requirements makes the D4-450DC-1 suitable for more complex applications where extensive data processing and control logic are necessary.

The D4-450DC-1 also features 1024 RLL (Relay Ladder Logic) Plus Flowchart Style Stages. This capability allows the CPU to manage and execute up to 1024 stages of control logic, providing a powerful tool for developing intricate control strategies. The use of flowchart-style programming in conjunction with traditional relay ladder logic enables the creation of more intuitive and easily understandable control programs, which can be particularly beneficial in complex automation environments.

Connectivity is a critical aspect of any PLC system, and the D4-450DC-1 is equipped with four built-in communication ports to facilitate this. These ports allow the CPU to connect with a wide range of external devices and systems, including human-machine interfaces (HMIs), remote I/O modules, and other PLCs. The multiple ports provide flexibility in system design, enabling the CPU to manage multiple communication channels simultaneously. This capability is essential in modern industrial environments where integration with various devices and systems is required to maintain efficient and coordinated operations.

The maximum baud rate of the D4-450DC-1 is 38.4K, ensuring fast and reliable data transmission between the CPU and connected devices. The high baud rate minimizes communication delays, allowing for real-time data exchange and responsive control actions. This is particularly important in applications where timely decision-making and rapid response to changing conditions are critical to maintaining process stability and efficiency.

The D4-450DC-1 is designed to be fully compatible with the DL405 and DirectLogic 405 series, which are known for their robust performance and versatility in industrial automation. The CPU integrates seamlessly with other components in the series, enabling the development of highly customized control solutions tailored to specific application needs. The DirectLogic 405 series is widely used across various industries, including manufacturing, processing, and energy management, making the D4-450DC-1 a valuable asset for a broad range of automation projects.

The design of the D4-450DC-1 emphasizes reliability and ease of use. Its rugged construction ensures that it can withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in industrial environments, including exposure to dust, temperature fluctuations, and electrical noise. The CPU is engineered to provide consistent performance over extended periods, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements. This durability is a key factor in its suitability for critical control applications where downtime is not an option.

In summary, the D4-450DC-1 CPU from Automation Direct is a high-performance and reliable component designed for the DL405 and DirectLogic 405 series of PLCs. With its 7.5K of built-in Flash Memory, support for up to 30.8K of total memory, and 1024 RLL Plus Flowchart Style Stages, it offers the computational power and flexibility needed for complex automation tasks. The CPU’s four built-in communication ports and maximum baud rate of 38.4K ensure fast and reliable data exchange, making it an ideal choice for modern industrial environments where connectivity and real-time control are essential. The D4-450DC-1’s robust construction and compatibility with the DirectLogic 405 series make it a dependable solution for a wide range of industrial automation applications, delivering the performance and reliability needed to support efficient and effective control systems.
