SLC 5/05 PLC Processor
1747L552

SLC 5/05 PLC Processor, 32K Words User Memory; channel 0 RS-232 (DF1 / DH-485 / ASCII) and channel 1 Ethernet (10Base-T; 10/100 on later series).

Series & Revisions

Series A, B, C and D in stock; other series on request.

Series A shipped with OS500 and can be flashed to OS501; Series B and C ship with OS501. Only Series C hardware has the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port; A and B run 10 Mbps half duplex.

Series notes: Same slot and wiring. A later series runs an earlier program; an earlier series rejects a program that uses newer OS/FRN features.

Intended Use

Built for Ethernet-connected legacy machine and small-process control applications. SLC 500 processors still run packaging lines, conveyors, water and wastewater stations, HVAC plants and OEM machinery installed through the 1990s and 2000s. Most demand today is replacing a failed processor like-for-like so the existing rack, I/O and RSLogix 500 program stay in place.

Migration Path

Rockwell Automation has discontinued SLC 500 processors; replacement units come from the surplus market. Published successor for the SLC 500 modular processor: CompactLogix 5380 (5069-L3xxER) with Compact 5000 I/O, or CompactLogix 5370 (1769-L3xER) to reuse 1769 Compact I/O.

  • A 1747-AENTR EtherNet/IP adapter in slot 0 of the existing 1746 chassis lets the new CompactLogix own the installed I/O, so the processor can be replaced first and the I/O later.
  • When the I/O is converted, 1492-CM1746 conversion modules and pre-wired cables move the 1746 field wiring to Compact 5000 or 1769 I/O without re-terminating field devices.
  • Translate the RSLogix 500 program with the Studio 5000 Logix Designer project translation tool; 1756-RM085 lists the SLC instructions and file-based addressing that need manual rework.
  • DH-485 and DH+ devices (PanelView Standard, other SLCs) need a gateway or their own migration, since CompactLogix is EtherNet/IP only.

A like-for-like replacement or a repair keeps the existing program, wiring and panel layout; a migration is a project. Both are listed on this page so the choice can be made on lead time and budget.
