Introduction
1785 PLC-5 Programmable
Controller: The Foundation
of Control Architecture
The PLC-5 programmable controller stands at the center of a control
architecture that brings together existing and future systems by means of
networks such as EtherNet/IP, ControlNet and DeviceNet, and offers
connectivity among SLC 500, ControlLogix, and MicroLogix controllers.
Because they include embedded network connections, PLC-5 controllers
enable your control architecture to be flexible enough to include cost-effective
connections to a wide range of devices.
