Delta PLC – Programmable Logic Controllers

Types of Delta PLCs

Delta PLCs are available in compact, modular, and motion control configurations for different machine sizes, I/O requirements, expansion needs, and control functions. The suitable PLC type depends on the number of inputs and outputs, processing requirements, communication needs, and machine architecture.

Delta Compact PLCs

Delta compact PLCs, including models from the DVP Series, combine the CPU and built-in I/O in a compact controller design. They are commonly used for machine control, conveyors, packaging equipment, and other automation applications requiring compact installation and expandable control options.

Delta Modular PLCs

Delta modular PLCs, including the AS and AH Series, support scalable control systems where additional I/O, communication, and function modules can be added according to the application. They are suitable for production equipment, process control, and automation systems requiring flexible system expansion.

Delta Motion Control PLCs

Delta motion control PLCs, including applicable DVP Series controllers such as DVP-SV2 and DVP-EH3, support high-speed positioning and coordinated motion functions. They are used in machines requiring positioning, synchronized control, and multi-axis motion capabilities.

Applications of Delta PLCs

Delta PLCs are used to automate machine operations, process input signals, control connected equipment, and coordinate production sequences. Depending on the PLC series and configuration, they can be applied in standalone machines as well as larger automated control systems.

• Packaging, filling, and labeling machines
• Conveyor and material handling systems
• Textile and processing machinery
• Assembly and automated production equipment
• Pumps, motors, and process control systems
• Positioning and motion control machines
• Water treatment and utility automation systems
• PLC systems integrated with HMIs, VFDs, and servo drives

How to Select a Delta PLC

Select a Delta PLC by matching the controller capacity, I/O requirements, communication options, expansion needs, and control functions with the requirements of the machine or automation system.

• PLC Type: Choose a compact, modular, or motion control PLC according to the machine architecture and required control functions.
• I/O Requirements: Determine the number and type of digital and analog inputs and outputs required for sensors, switches, actuators, and other field devices.
• Expansion: Check whether additional I/O, analog, communication, or special function modules will be required as the control system expands.
• Communication: Select a PLC with communication interfaces and protocols compatible with the HMI, VFD, servo system, or other connected equipment.
• Processing & Control: Consider program capacity, processing requirements, high-speed inputs and outputs, positioning, and motion control functions according to the application.
• Series & Model: Compare Delta PLC series and individual models based on the required specifications before selecting the controller for the application.
