System Overview
The SLC 500 family provides a proven approach for industrial control. SLC 500 processors are available in a wide range of functional designs, and can be connected in a variety of networks for distributed processing and distributed I/O. The 1746 I/O products offer a full range of digital and analog I/O (including intelligent I/O) in a rugged modular assembly.

Benefits
- Modularity—Modular processors, power supplies, I/O, memory options, and communication interfaces allow for a configurable and expandable system. You configure your system for the number of I/O, the amount of memory, and the communication networks you need. Later, when you want to expand the system, you can add I/O or communication interfaces.
- Fast delivery of messages —Between networks, between links within networks, and between modules across the backplane.
- Industrially hardened product—Designed to withstand the vibrations, thermal extremes, and electrical noise associated with harsh industrial environments.
- Compact design—Fits in limited panel space.
- Many network options—Take advantage of distributed processing by connecting processors across Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH+, and DH-485 networks.
- More I/O choices—Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can be connected across ControlNet, DeviceNet, and Universal Remote I/O links.
