ZIPLink Cables for easy PLC
connections...We're not the first to make them, but we're the first
to make them affordable!
ZIPLink Pre-Wired PLC Connection Cables and
Modules
ZIPLink PLC cables help eliminate the tedious
process of wiring PLC I/O to terminal blocks!
NOTE: (ZIPLink cables are not currently available for
thermocouple, RTD, high-current or analog modules.)
Wiring programmable logic controllers (PLCs) can be a real chore.
You have to get wire, cut it, strip it, screw it to the PLC I/O
module terminal, route it to a terminal strip, label it, stick it
into a field terminal block, screw it down . . .
Or, you
could remove the connector on a DirectLOGIC I/O
module, snap one of the ZIPLink cables in its
place, and snap the other end into the connector module mounted on
DIN rail nearby. Not only is it faster, it looks a lot better and
makes following wires and cables a piece of
cake!
ZIPLink cables are available in a
variety of styles to suit your needs.
Some of our PLC cables
are designed exclusively for DirectLOGIC PLCs,
while others may be used with a variety of PLC brands.
ZIPLink cables are available in a number of
pre-wired and ready-to-wire configurations that accommodate the
majority of our most popular discrete input and output PLC I/O
modules.
(NOTE: Analog and high current PLC I/O
modules are NOT supported by ZIPLink PLC cables.)

indication for monitoring your inputs, we have a ZIPLink module that is right for you. Most DIN
rail mountable ZIPLink modules are available in
your choice of eight or sixteen-channel versions, in either 24 VDC
or 110 VAC voltages.
- Other PLC brands
Use ZIPLink
“pigtail” cables and connector modules to wire to most
brands of PLCs or controllers.
These cables are supplied with a
“plug and play” connector on one end, and an unwired, color-coded
wire bundle on the other end for user connection to the PLC or
controller terminal block.
- D-subminiature connectors
D-subminiature
modules provide convenient transition between devices with
standard D-sub ports (such as operator interface panels) for
longer distance connections. For PLCs, controllers, operator
interfaces, or other devices utilizing D-subminiature connectors,
we now have standard ZIPLink cables and connector
modules in 9, 15, and 25 pin male/female configurations for fast,
convenient wiring.
Available modules include:
- Feed-through PLC Connection
Modules
Feed-through modules provide low-cost and
compact field wiring screw termination solutions for quickly
connecting ZIPLink cables with PLCs.
- Fuse Modules
Fuse modules provide
easily-replaceable fuse protection for PLC output devices. Fuses are included. The 8-point and 16-point fuse modules
are supplied with replaceable fuses and protective safety covers.
Use with DL05/ DL06/ DL205/ DL305/ DL405 PLCs.
NOTE: Commons are not isolated on models
ZLCM16TF1 and ZL-CM16TF2.NOTE: Do not exceed 5
Amps maximum per common with PLC I/O modules D2-12TR, D3-16TA2,
D4-16TA.

Our DC-powered
relay modules provide electrical isolation between a PLC and an
output device. Switch high current (10 A) loads with our 8-point
or 16-point 24 VDC relay modules. Each plug-in relay channel
offers either one normally open or one normally closed contact. Relays are included.
- AC-powered Relay Modules
Our AC-powered
relay modules provide electrical isolation between a PLC and
output devices. Switch high current (10 A) loads with our 8-point
or 16-point 120 VAC relay modules. Each plug-in relay channel
offers either one normally open or one normally closed contact. Relays are included.
- Relay Sockets
Our single and four-channel
24 VDC and 120 VAC relay sockets are compatible with plug-in
relays for switching high current (10 A) loads. Relay models
ZL-RELAY-24 and ZL-RELAY-120 are sold separately.

ZIPLink Accessories and Kits
Relay and fuse kits provide spare parts for ZIPLink fuse and relay modules. The relay kit
contains 10 spare relay spring clips. The fuse kit contains: 5 A
fuses - 3 pieces; 2 A fuses - 7 pieces; Fuse covers for ZIPLink fuse modules - 10 pieces.
- LED Modules
AC and DC LED/sensor modules
provide simple and logical termination for 2-wire or 3-wire
sensors or other devices. These modules offer visual LED
indication of device input status for quick troubleshooting. The
LED/ sensor modules are available in 120 VAC or 24 VAC/VDC in
8-point or 16-point versions, and offer extra termination points
for daisychaining multiple modules.
- Communication Adapter
Modules
Communication adapter modules eliminate the
hassle associated with connecting crimp or solder connectors to
PLC communication ports. The communication adapters offer fast and
convenient screw terminal connections for DL250/ DL350/ DL450
PLCs. A DIP switch allows you to select between RS232, RS422, and DirectLOGIC Remote I/O. The 15-pin version,
compatible with the DL06, D2-250, and D2-260 CPUs, offers power,
transmit, and receive LED indicators to simplify and speed
diagnostics and troubleshooting.
NOTE: These
modules are for use in end-of-run wiring (point-to-point) only.
They are NOT intended for use as middle stations in multidrop
networks.
- D-sub Miniature Modules
D-sub miniature
modules are available in male and female, 9-pin, 15-pin or 25-pin
versions. These connector modules provide a fast, convenient
method of transitioning between devices with standard D-Sub ports
(such as EZTouch/Text operator interface panels) and field wiring
through the use of screw terminals. This also allows longer
distance connections.
- Diode and Miscellaneous Modules
Transorb
diode, AC and DC relay modules are available for all types of
applications. Our transorb diode modules are 8-channel devices
that suppress counterelectromotive force (CEMF) generated by
switching inductive loads such as air solenoids, contactors, motor
starters, interposing relays, etc., which can cause unexpected PLC
system shutdown. Our RJ12 connector modules provide convenient
break-out of wiring to terminal blocks.
