SLC 500 Selection Guide

The SLC 500 is a series of small, chassis-based modular programmable controllers (PLCs) and I/O modules. This control platform is designed and built by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation for industrial environments. It is capable of handling extremes in mechanical shock and vibration, as well as withstanding a wide range of humidity and temperature conditions.

The SLC 500 is available with a maximum of 64K of program/configurable data memory. Hence, the SLC 500 processors can provide power, flexibility, and expanded I/O options to take on a wide range of control applications that previously required larger and more expensive control solutions. Also, SLC 500 modular I/O systems provide more than 60 types of I/O modules, which you can use to customize your control application with a broad selection of I/O options, including discrete, analog, and numerous specialty I/O modules from Rockwell Automation and third-party partners.

Overall, an SLC 500 control system can address high-speed processes and discrete control applications from a single control platform. As either a Stand-Alone control system with a processor and I/O modules connected in a single 1746 chassis having a power supply, or as a Distributed control system that can utilize distributed I/O, multiple controllers connected across networks, or I/O in multiple control platforms connected over multiple I/O links and distributed in many locations. This makes the system ideal for fast-paced control operations like packaging machines and bottling lines.

All the aforementioned features have helped to make the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 the premier small logic control system available in the market today. More than a decade after its introduction, the SLC 500 system is still a gold standard of small-size, full-featured programmable logic control systems that are currently in use. Therefore, whenever you’re selecting an SLC 500 system, you must specify the right components to get the most out of its features. This article will provide you with a checklist to use as a guide to completing the specifications of your SLC 500 system.

Modular I/O systems with SLC 5/03 processors can control a maximum of 4096 I/O points and they can be configured with a maximum of 3 chassis (30 slots in total).
  • SLC 5/04 Processors (1747-L541, 1747-L542, and 1747-L543): These processors provide DH+ communications in addition to the baseline functionality of the SLC 5/03 processors. As the standard DH-485 port is replaced with a DH+ port, communications through the DH+ network are 3 to 12 times faster than DH-485 communications. This provides high-speed SLC 5/04-to-SLC 5/04 communications with increased performance levels and direct connection to PLC-5 controllers. In addition, the SLC 5/04 processors provide program memory options of 16K, 32K, or 64K.

They support Ethernet communications at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, providing you with a high-performance network for data acquisition, peer-to-peer messaging, operator interface, program upload/download, and online editing. These controllers offer a variety of program memory sizes (16K, 32K, or 64K), allowing you to closely match your SLC 500 application needs. Also, you can configure modular I/O systems with SLC 5/05 Processors with up to 3 chassis (30 slots in total), as well as a maximum of 4096 I/O points.

Select an SLC Chassis

The SLC 500 chassis hosts the I/O modules and the processor. Each chassis in your system should have a power supply. The power supply is mounted on the left side of the 1746 chassis. While the first slot in the first chassis (in case of 3 or 2 chassis) is set aside for the SLC 500 processor or any of the following adapter modules: 1747-ASB, 1747-ACNR15, or 1747-ACN15.

Modular style SLC 500 chassis provide flexibility in system configuration. You can choose any of the following four sizes of chassis: the 1746-A4 (4-slot chassis), the 1746-A7 (7-slot chassis), the 1746-A10 (10-slot chassis), and the 1746-A13 (13-slot chassis).

Note, that tools are not required to insert or remove the SLC 500 processor or I/O modules as all of the components of your SLC 500 system should slide easily into the chassis along with the provided guides. You can connect several chassis to form a chassis system (with a maximum of 3 chassis) using interconnect cables. Therefore, ensure that you select the right sizes of chassis to interconnect cables.

Select an SLC 500 Power Supply

When configuring an SLC 500 modular system, every 1746 chassis requires a power supply to power the I/O modules and the processor. Ensure you use the available power supply loading worksheet to provide sufficient power to your SLC 500 system. Careful power supply selection results in the best performance. However, excessive loading of the power supply outputs can lead to power supply shutdown or premature failure of the entire SLC 500 system. Also, whenever you’re selecting a power supply, make sure that you account for the future expansion needs of your SLC 500 system.

Allen-Bradley provides seven different SLC 500 power supplies: three AC and four DC. You can configure the AC power supplies to operate between 120 and 240 volts AC. No special wiring is required for AC power supplies since you can easily select either 120 or 240 volts AC with a jumper wire.
