Top Floor to Shop Floor
Communications
With available built-in Ethernet,
SLC 500 processors provide that
vital enabling communications link
from the plant floor to
management information
systems. Through Ethernet
networks, the SLC 500
can communicate plant-floor
data in data acquisition,
supervisory control,
program management,
statistical quality control,
production scheduling
and material tracking
applications.
Peer-to-Peer
Communications
Versatility
A choice of six networking options
delivers superior connectivity. Simply
select the built-in communications choice
that best fits your application. SLC 500
processors can support 10 Mbps Ethernet
®
communications with a 10 Base-T Ethernet
channel, as well as high-speed peer-to-peer
communications with built-in DataHighway
Plus™ (DH+). Don’t need Ethernet or DH+?
Then choose an SLC 500 with built-in
DH-485 communications.
Device-Level Control
Connectivity to the popular 1747-SDN
DeviceNet
™
Scanner module gives you a
single-cable interface to “smart” devices,
including sensors, push buttons, motor
starters, simple operator interfaces,
and drives. This means:
• Low node cost and ease of integration
• Reduced installation costs and wiring
• Additional diagnostics from intelligent
devices
• Rapid troubleshooting
Remote I/O Compatibility
Taking advantage of remote I/O (RIO) options
is as simple as adding the 1747-SN RIO
scanner module to your SLC system. The
scanner module and the 1747-ASB RIO adapter
module both support discrete and block transfer
options. So drives, operator interface, third
party devices, and many other RIO-compatible
products are easily accommodated.
Available remote I/O passthrough simplifies
upload or download applications to MMI
devices on the Remote I/O network, including
PanelView
™
Operator terminals and Dataliner
™
Message Displays.
