The SLC 500 is a small chassis-based family of programmable controllers, discrete, analog, and specialty I/O, and peripheral devices. The SLC 500 family delivers power and flexibility with a wide range of communication configurations, features, and memory options. The RSLogix 500 ladder logic programming package provides flexible editors, point-and-click I/O configuration, and a powerful database editor, as well as diagnostic and troubleshooting tools to help you save project development time and maximize productivity.
Distributed Systems
More complex systems can utilize: distributed I/O, multiple controllers joined across networks, I/O in multiple platforms that are distributed in many locations and connected over multiple I/O links.
Choose the processor module with the on-board communication ports you need. You optionally add modules to provide additional communication ports for the processor. For I/O in locations remote from the processor, you can choose between a ControlNet, DeviceNet, or Univeral I/O link. A communication interface module is required in both the local and remote chassis.
Depending upon the communication ports available on your particular SLC control system, you can select operator interfaces that are compatible.
SLC 500 series PLC, models mostly 1746,1747 starts. Belonging to medium-sized PLC system is widely used. Allen-Bradley SLC 500 PLC is a medium-sized rack-based control system, by the controller, discrete modules, analog input and special output modules modules,and peripheral devices. SLC 500 series are powerful, flexible configuration and can provide a wide range of communication configurations, characteristics, and memory options. RSLOGIX 500 ladder logic programming package provides a flexible editor, click-typed of input and output configurations, powerful database editor, also with the diagnostic and troubleshooting tools to help you save time and maximize the project development efficiency.
