PLC-5 CONTROLLER...THE FOUNDATION OF CONTROL ARCHITECTURE
The PLC-5 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 MicroLogix, SLC 500,
SoftLogix and ControlLogix
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.
