About the D2-04BDC1-1
Manufactured by Automation Direct as part of the DirectLogic 205 series, the D2-04BDC1-1 module is labeled as a power supply base. When used as a base, the power supplied to the attached models is 24 VDC. The model will provide 2600 mA at 5V. This is one of the models in the DirectLogic 205 series that does not offer an additional 24 VDC auxiliary power supply with external power connections meaning that it can not connect or power external devices.
One of the excellent things about the D2-04BDC1-1 module being used in a DL205 PLC system is that the DL205 system itself is flexible and can work in a number of different wiring configurations. As a 24 VDC power supply base, the unit is best used when needing to save on cost. The model can power combined loads and, when doing so, can provide up to 300 mA. Caution should always be taken when operating this model, but caution should be taken when using the base with several attachments, as it is possible that when the model exceeds the current rating, it can cause errors and potential injury.
This model is also designed to be used in application environments where low-voltage DC power is readily available compared to that of the AC power supply. All information on how the model will be used in the DL205 PLC system can be found in the D2-USER-M manual.
