 System Components

A modular-hardware SLC / 1746 control system at minimum consists of a

processor module and I/O modules in a single 1746 chassis with a power
supply. The 1746 power supply connects to the left end of each 1746 chassis.
You can configure a system with one, two, or three local chassis, for a total
of 30 local I/O or communication modules maximum. You connect multiple
local chassis together with chassis interconnect cables to extend the
backplane signal lines from one chassis to another.

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
must add an I/O scanner module for ControlNet, DeviceNet, or Universal
Remote I/O port.

Depending on the communication ports available on your particular SLC

control system, you can select operator interfaces that are compatible with
those particular ports.
 Product Design : CPU

SLC 500 processors are available in a large range of forcible I/O (4096
inputs plus 4096 outputs maximum) and maximum user memory (1K
instructions through 64K words). Several modular processors are capable
of controlling remotely located I/O. By adding an I/O scanner module,
you can use these processors to monitor/control these remotely located
I/O across ControlNet, DeviceNet, and Universal Remote I/O links.

The 1746/1747 platform provides a modular-hardware system for

maximum flexibility. SLC 500 processors are single-slot modules that
you place into the left-most slot of a 1746 I/O chassis. For 1746 I/O in a
location remote from the processor, the I/O adapter is a single-slot
module that you place into the left-most slot of a 1746 I/O chassis.

The 1746 I/O chassis are built for back-panel mounting. The 1746 I/O
chassis is available in sizes of 4, 7, 10, or 13 module slots. The 1746 I/O
modules are available in densities of a maximum of 32 I/O per module.

total of 30 local I/O or communication modules maximum. You connect
multiple local chassis together with chassis interconnect cables to extend
the backplane signal lines from one chassis to another. This same 30-I/O-
module limit applies to a chassis remote from the processor with an I/O
adapter module in the first slot.

 Communication
Various models of SLC processors have various on-board ports for
communication with other processors or computers. Also, separate
modules are available to provide additional communication ports for
communication with other processors, computers, and remotely located
I/O.

Each SLC processor has one or two built-in ports for either EtherNet/IP,
DH+, DH-485, or RS-232 (DF1, ASCII, OR DH-485 protocol)
communication.

I/O adapter modules for 1746 I/O are also available for ControlNet and
Universal Remote I/O links.
