Power supply
 All power supplies have a lightemitting 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.
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

Chassis
 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:
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.
