What is SLC 500?

The Allen-Bradley SLC 500 is a family of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) developed by Rockwell Automation (formerly Allen-Bradley). It's a modular, rack-based system used for industrial automation applications. The SLC 500 family includes various processors, I/O modules, and communication interfaces. It is commonly used for controlling machines, processes, and other industrial equipment, offering features like ladder logic programming, PID control, and communication capabilities.
