What is SLC500?

The Allen-Bradley SLC 500 is a family of small programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used for industrial automation. It is designed for controlling a variety of automated processes, machines, and equipment. It has been a popular choice for applications such as material handling, packaging, and small-scale manufacturing. While a mature technology and largely succeeded by newer PLC platforms like the ControlLogix, SLC 500 systems are still found in many existing industrial installations.
