Used ALLEN BRADLEY SLC 5/04 #112640 for sale

ALLEN BRADLEY SLC 5/04 is a programmable logic controller (PLC) produced by Rockwell Automation that is popular for its use in automation and control applications. The unit is composed of two circuit boards, a processor board and an I/O board in a slim line design that can be used to control up to 64 I/O points. The processor board uses a powerful 8 Bit processor with 32K RAM, a microprocessor to control the I/O and makes decisions, and a programmable monitor to read parameters from the I/O points which are then used to actuate other outputs. The I/O board connects the inputs and outputs to the processor board in order for the PLC to read the data, calculate the logic and control the outputs accordingly. The SLC 5/04 series are suitable for basic industrial applications where logic control and simple analog operations are required. It can be used with a variety of I/O modules including digital, analog, serial communication and control/process limits, as well as multiple programming languages, leading the way in PLC technology. Additionally, the system is capable of implementing soft logic, ladder logic, structured text, and even object-oriented programming; which significantly increases its programming versatility. The SLC 5/04 range of PLC's also come with on board RS232, RS422 and RS485 communication ports, allowing for direct connection to a network or a Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) for communications and control. In addition to these highly useful features, the SLC 5/04 allows for an expandable system, up to 32 slots for I/O channels, including many specialty modules for different I/O, communication and motion control applications. For the operator, the SLC 5/04 range is equipped with easy to read LCD screens and multiple navigation buttons for easy access. And from a maintenance point of view, the PLC can be programmed, tested, and monitored using a variety of hardware and software tools. In conclusion, ALLEN BRADLEY SLC 5/04 is a strong, reliable and cost effective choice for industrial automation and control applications. For its users, it provides a wide range of features, flexibility and scalability that are necessary for the successful operation of their automation systems.
