SLC 500 Programmable Controllers and I/O Modules
SLC 500 Family
The Allen-Bradley SLC 500 is Rockwell
Automation’s small chassis-based, modular
family of programmable controllers (PLC’s)
and chassis-based I/O. It consists of
processors, I/O and peripheral devices. This
processor family delivers power and
flexibility with a wide range of
communication configurations, features,
and memory options
The additions of built-in networks,
extensions of the 1746 I/O family,
availability of third-party specialty I/O
modules from Encompass partners, and
state-of-the-art Windows programming
package have helped to make the Allen-
Bradley SLC 500 the premier small
controller on the market today.
