Description
Allen-Bradley 1747-L532 PLC Processor Module
Product Dimensions:
The Allen-Bradley 1747-L532 is a high-performance processor module for the SLC 500 family. Specifically, it is known as the SLC 5/03 Controller. It is designed for applications requiring higher execution speeds and more advanced communication capabilities than the entry-level SLC processors.
Product Detailed Description
The 1747-L532 (SLC 5/03) provides a powerful mid-range solution for industrial automation. It features a built-in RS-232 port that supports various protocols (DF1, DH-483, Modbus RTU), allowing for easy integration with HMIs, modems, and third-party devices. It is a chassis-based module that occupies the first slot (Slot 0) of an SLC 500 rack.

Product Advantages
- Enhanced Communication: The dedicated RS-232 port allows the controller to communicate with devices that don’t support the DH-485 network without needing expensive converters.
- Speed: The SLC 5/03 offers significantly faster bit-instruction execution times compared to the SLC 5/01 or 5/02, improving machine cycle times.
- Online Editing: Supports online programming and editing, allowing logic changes without stopping the processor or the machine process.
- Flash Memory Support: Users can install an optional memory module (M1, M2, or M3) for permanent program storage and auto-loading upon power-up.
Important Considerations (Precautions)
- Battery Maintenance: This module relies on a 1747-BA battery to retain the program in RAM during power loss. If the “BATT” LED turns red, the battery must be replaced immediately to avoid program loss.
- Chassis Compatibility: It must be installed in a 1746 chassis. Ensure the power supply (e.g., 1746-P1, P2) has sufficient capacity for the processor and all I/O modules.
- Static Sensitivity: Like all SLC modules, it is sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Handle the board by the edges and use a grounded wrist strap.
- DH-485 Voltage: Note that the DH-485 port (RJ45) is not an Ethernet port. Plugging an Ethernet cable from a PC or switch into this port can damage the hardware.
Product Applications
The 1747-L532 is widely used in legacy systems and specialized machinery:
- Material Handling: Controlling conveyors, sorting systems, and automated storage.
- Food & Beverage: Managing mixing, bottling lines, and packaging equipment.
- Water Treatment: Small to medium-scale SCADA nodes for pump control and monitoring.
- Machine Tooling: Precise control for dedicated industrial machines like CNC loaders or presses.
