PLC-5 / SLC – General Information

Home  Back  Next

This protocol is used for the communication with PLC-5 and SLC PLCs from Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley.

The PLC-5 / SLC protocol only works in conjunction with TCP/IP.

 

Read (Fetch active) and Write (Write active):

When communicating with SLC or PLC-5 PLCs, it is generally possible to both read and write over a single connection.
If default port 2222 is used, you only need to parameterize the connection on the device side. On the PLC side, no other settings are required.

 

NOTE:

For PLC-5 and SLC communication, a specific PLC-5 / SLC Item Syntax is used.
