Product Short Description
Product Overview:
The KOYO D4-RSDC is a remote I/O slave module manufactured by KOYO Electronics (now JTEKT Electronics), belonging to the DirectLOGIC DL405 series PLC system. The module is designed to expand the input/output capabilities of DL405 series PLC systems through serial communication with a remote I/O master module. The D4-RSDC module installs into the CPU slot of a DL405 remote base and links field I/O back to a D4-RM master. The D4-RSDC functions as the interface for remote I/O expansion bases

Structural Features:
The D4-RSDC module is designed for direct installation onto DL405 series PLC expansion bases. The module features a compact form factor compatible with standard DL405 rack systems.
Working Principle:
The D4-RSDC operates as a remote I/O slave in a master-slave architecture. The module communicates with a remote I/O master module installed in the main PLC rack via RS-485 serial communication. Field I/O modules installed on the remote expansion base connected to the D4-RSDC collect and distribute data, which is transmitted to the master module and then relayed to the PLC CPU. Data updates occur asynchronously with the PLC scan cycle.
Advantages and Strengths:
-
Drastically reduces wiring costs by using a single communication cable instead of point-to-point wiring
-
Enables flexible I/O module configuration with various DL405 series modules
-
Simple addressing and configuration through PLC programming software
-
Economical remote I/O solution
-
Reduces system maintenance complexity
Applicable Industries:
-
Factory automation systems
-
Automotive parts manufacturing assembly lines
-
Packaging machinery
-
Distributed control applications requiring remote I/O
