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
table lists characteristics of the modular
processors:

Processor
 The following features are specific for
each processor type:
 Memory capacity
 Complexity of available instruction set
 Communications options
 Time required to execute the control
program
Chassis
 Chassis: A hardware assembly that houses the processor
and I/O modules.
 SLC modular chassis provide the following functions:
 Power distribution
 Containment of I/O modules
 Communication path between I/O modules and processor
 SLC modular chassis are available in four sizes:
 4-slot
 7-slot
 10-slot
 13-slot
:
 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.

EEPROM Memory Module:
 A module that can be inserted into a SLC
500 processor to maintain a copy of the
project in case the processor experiences
either of these situations:
 Memory corruption
 Extended power loss

under the Mem Module tab of the processor
status file, as shown in the following graphic:
Communication
 The following terms are associated with network
communications:
 Network: A series of stations (nodes) physically
connected together.
 Node: A device on a network capable of sending or
receiving information.
 Link: The path or physical means established for
transmitting data between two or more locations.
 Baud rate: A unit of signaling speed, across a
communications link, equal to the number of signal
events per second (bits per second).
