About the Allen-Bradley 1747-L551
The Allen-Bradley 1747-L551 is the SLC 5/05 16K Controller, and Rockwell Automation lists its lifecycle status as Discontinued. According to Rockwell publication 1747-IN009, it has 16 K words of memory, 107 programming instructions and a maximum I/O capacity of 4096 discrete inputs and 4096 discrete outputs. The publication gives a typical scan time of 0.9 ms/K for a 1 K ladder logic program and a bit execution time (XIC) of 0.37 µs. It loads the power supply with 1.0 A at 5V dc and 0 mA at 24V dc.
What is the 1747-L551 used for?
In an SLC 500 system the processor holds and runs the user program, written in RSLogix 500, for a local system of up to 3 chassis and 30 slots. It communicates over DH485, RS-232 and Ethernet TCP/IP, with Data Highway Plus, ControlNet and DeviceNet reached through the gateways and interfaces Rockwell lists. Publication 1747-IN009 rates it for 0...60 °C and 5 to 95% humidity without condensation.
Lifecycle and successor
