  1. Identifying SLC 500™ System Components

  2. SLC 500 System Options • The SLC 500 line of processors comprises both fixed and modular processor styles.:

  3. Fixed Hardware • Fixed SLC 500 processors have a built-in power supply with I/O modules in one unit. The following options are available with the fixed-hardware processor: • 20, 30, or 40 digital I/O points • Two-slot expansion chassis • The following graphic shows a fixed SLC 500 processor with 20 I/O points and a two-slot expansion chassis

  4. Modular Hardware • The following options are available with the modular-hardware processor: • Seven power supply types • Up to 4096 inputs and 4096 outputs • Five processor types • The following graphic shows a modular SLC 5/04 ™ processor:

  5. Modular SLC 500 System Components • The modular SLC 500 system components include a power supply, processor, chassis, and I/O modules.

  6. Power Supply • Power Supply: A component that provides system power requirements for the processor and I/O modules. • Seven power supplies, three AC-input power supplies and four DC-input power supplies, are available:

  7. All power supplies have a light-emitting diode (LED) that indicates proper power supply. Power supplies are designed to withstand brief power losses (between 20 ms and 3 s) without affecting the operation of the system.

  8. Processor • Processor:A component that acts as the brain of the system, receiving information from input devices via the I/O system, making decisions based on that information, and then sending information to the output devices via the I/O system. • SLC 500 processors offer a wide range of choices in memory, I/O capacity, instruction set, and communications ports. The following table lists characteristics of the modular processors:

  9. The following features are specific for each processor type: • Memory capacity • Complexity of available instruction set • Communications options • Time required to execute the control program

  10. Chassis • Chassis: A hardware assembly that houses the processor and I/O modules. • SLC modular chassis provide the following functions: • Power distribution • Containment of I/O modules • Communication path between I/O modules and processor • SLC modular chassis are available in four sizes: • 4-slot • 7-slot • 10-slot • 13-slot:

  11. A chassis requires a power supply (which connects to the chassis without a separate cable) to provide power to the processor and each I/O slot. Additionally, chassis can be connected together to increase the I/O available to a processor, as shown in the following graphic:

  12. I/O Modules • I/O Modules: Electronic plug-in units used to interface with the input and output devices in the machine or process being controlled. Input modules receive data from input devices and send it to the processor. Output modules receive data from the processor and send it to output devices.

  13. EEPROM Memory Module: • A module that can be inserted into a SLC 500 processor to maintain a copy of the project in case the processor experiences either of these situations: • Memory corruption • Extended power loss • Memory module information can be found under the Mem Module tab of the processor status file, as shown in the following graphic:

  14. Signal Flow through an SLC 500 System: • The following graphic outlines the sequences of events from the activation of machine or process inputs to the energizing of machine or process output devices:

  15. The following terms are associated with network communications: • Network:A series of stations (nodes) physically connected together. • Node:A device on a network capable of sending or receiving information. • Link:The path or physical means established for transmitting data between two or more locations. • Baud:A unit of signaling speed, across a communications link, equal to the number of signal events per second (bits per second).

  16. Data Highway Plus (DH+) Network: • A Data Highway Plus ™ (DH+) is a local area network designed to support remote programming for factory floor applications. A DH+ network has the following characteristics: • Uses baud rates up to 230.4 kbit/s • Allows a maximum of 64 (0-77 octal) nodes • Allows a maximum network length of 3,048 m (10,000 ft) at 57.6 kbit/s • Communications speed is influenced by distance within the DH+ network.

  17. Example: DH+ NetworkChannel 1 of an SLC 5/04 processor is used to connect to a DH+ network. An example of SLC 500™ processors on a DH+ network is shown in the following graphic:

  18. DH 485 Network: • A DH 485 network is a local area network designed for plant floor applications. DH 485 connections enable you to go online to any processor on a DH 485 network from one connection point. A DH 485 network has the following characteristics: • Uses baud rates up to 19,200 bit/s • Allows a maximum of 32 (0-31 decimal) nodes • Uses a maximum cable length of 1.2 km (4,000 ft

  19. Example: DH 485 NetworkChannel 1 of SLC 5/01, SLC 5/02, and SLC 5/03 processors is used to connect to the DH 485 Network. An example of SLC 500 ™ processors on a DH 485 network is shown in the following graphic

  20. RS-232 (Serial) Connection: • An RS-232 serial port allows you to go online to a specific processor by connecting to the communications port of a computer: • Uses baud rates up to 19,200 bit/s • Requires physical connection to the processor to which you want to go online (cannot "see" other processors on the network) • Telephone and radio modems can be integrated into the RS-232 interface, thereby allowing communications over long distances.

  21. Example: RS-232 ConnectionChannel 0 of SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and SLC 5/05 processors is used for an RS-232 connection. An example of an RS-232 connection is shown in the following graphic:

  22. Universal Remote I/O Network: • A Universal Remote I/O network connects SLC 500 processors to remote I/O chassis and intelligent devices such as operator interfaces and AC and DC drives. The Universal Remote I/O network has the following characteristics: • Uses baud rates up to 230.4 kbit/s • Allows remote I/O scanners to connect to a maximum of 32 I/O chassis or other adapter-type devices on a single link • Allows a maximum network length of 3,048 m (10,000 ft) at 57.6 kbit/s

  23. Example: Universal Remote I/OAn example of an SLC 5/04 processor with a 1747-SN scanner module on a Universal Remote I/O network is shown in the following graphic:

  28. EtherNet/IP Network: • An EtherNet/IP network is a local area network (LAN) that provides communications between various devices at 10 Mbit/s. This network, available for SLC 5/05 processors, is the fastest SLC 500 communications option. An EtherNet/IP network has the following characteristics:
