This module is commonly known as a processor module or controller, and it provides the central processing unit (CPU) for the SLC 500 system.
Here are some key features and specifications of the 1747-L551 module:
Processor Type: The 1747-L551 module is equipped with a 16-bit microprocessor.
Memory: It has a built-in memory capacity of 8K words (16K bytes) for program storage and 2K words (4K bytes) for data storage.
Communication Ports: The module features one DH-485 communication port, which allows for communication with other devices on the DH-485 network.
Power Requirements: The module requires a 5V DC power supply. It typically draws around 900mA of current.
Programming: The 1747-L551 allows you to program the SLC 500 system using Rockwell Automation's RSLogix 500 programming software. This software provides a user-friendly interface for creating, editing, and debugging ladder logic programs.
