The PLC-5® processor module in a 1771 platform provides a proven approach for industrial control. PLC-5 processors are high-speed, single-slot processors used for control and information processing. They are designed for larger sequential and regulatory control applications with specialized I/O requirements and/or the need to coordinate with other processors and devices.

PLC-5 processors are available in a range of I/O capacity and memory size, and can be connected in a variety of networks for distributed processing and distributed I/O. The 1771 I/O products offer a full range of digital and analog I/O (including intelligent I/O) in a r ed modular assembly.

PLC-5 controllers are high-speed, single-slot controllers you can use for control and information processing. PLC-5 controllers are designed for larger sequential and regulatory control applications with specialized I/O requirements and/or the need to coordinate with other controllers and devices.

PLC-5 controllers come with different memory sizes and network connections. The Enhanced PLC-5 controllers offer a standard set of functions and communication options. The other PLC-5 controllers offer different communication options, while maintaining the same functions. Choose the controller that best meets your needs.

The Ethernet PLC-5 controller integrates the Allen-Bradley architecture into an industry-standard EtherNet/IP system, offering a flexible and open solution. With the Ethernet PLC-5 controller’s built-in communication capabilities, your entire enterprise can use standard Ethernet or Internet connectivity to control and monitor production. Using the Internet and Web browser, you can create your own custom Web pages to provide executive summaries of process information. These pages are accessible to any Internet user who has network access to the PLC-5 controller. The embedded Web server provides access to PLC-5 diagnostics. Domain Name Service (DNS) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) are also supported.

Benefits

 

• Modularity — Modular I/O and communication interfaces provide a configurable and expandable system. A system should be configured for the required number of I/O and the communication networks. Later, when system expansion is necessary, I/O or communication interfaces can be added.
• Speed — Fast delivery of messages between networks, between links within networks, and between modules across the backplane.
• Toughness — Industrially-hardened hardware platform is designed to withstand the vibrations, thermal extremes, and electrical noise associated with harsh industrial environments.
• Broad I/O options — A large selection of 1771 I/O modules available for use in the local I/O chassis, and an even larger selection of I/O available at locations remote from the processor, can be connected across ControlNet™, DeviceNet™, and Remote I/O links.
