REMOTE CONTROL WITH ALLEN-BRADLEY SLC-500
SLC 500 remote control is facilitated by the implementation of Control Chief’s
Communicator® module and Watchdog relay module. This advanced technology is a
result of Control Chief’s partnership with Rockwell Automation to develop remote
control capability for the SLC 500. The following paragraphs discuss how the remote
control capability is implemented in the Train Chief® II system providing safe and
reliable operation.
