Bulletin 1785 PLC-5® programmable logic
controllers (PLCs) offer flexibility in programming, network, and I/O.
Designed for larger sequential and regulatory control applications with
specialized I/O requirements, PLC-5 control systems bring together existing
and new systems through networks such as EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet™,
and DeviceNet™. Embedded network ports in PLC-5 controllers enable
connectivity to a wide range of devices including MicroLogix™, SLC™
500, CompactLogix™, and ControlLogix® controllers, letting you
expand your control system without additional training investments.
