ReliaGate gateway is connected to DirectLOGIC DL05 PLC with the following key features:direct-logic-dl05-plc

  • 8x built-in inputs and 6x built-in outputs, expandable to 30 I/O total
  • 8x combinations of AC or DC powered PLC units with AC, DC and relay I/O
  • 6KB program and data memory
  • 2x communication ports
  • Supports MODBUS RTU master/slave, DeviceNET slave, Profibus slave and Ethernet networking
  • 129 instructions, including four PID loops
  • Supports functions such as FOR/ NEXT loops, subroutines, and drum sequencers
  • Removable terminal block connectors

The PLC is itself connected to a demo board with one momentary button, three ON/OFF buttons, three LEDs, one RGB LED, and a quad counter. The kit is completed with a 24V/1A power supply, power blades for wall mount adapter, an internal dipole WiFi & Bluetooth antenna  with an RP-SMA connector, an Ethernet cable, a USB to TTL debug board, and wall mount brackets in aluminum.

EDCK 4001 development kit is said to be available now for an unstated price. However for reference, the PLC sells for $125, and Reliagate 10-20 gateway (based on NXP i.MX6 instead of AM3352) for about $400, adding about $100 the accessories and demo board should give a rough idea about the total price of the kit. You’ll find more details on the product page.
