PLC5ProcessorsOverview
The PLC5 processors are singleslot modules that are placed into the left
most slot of a 1771 I/O chassis. They are available in a range of I/O,
memory, and communication capability.
PLC5 processors have ports configurable for either a Data Highway Plus
messaging communication link or a Universal Remote I/O link. As a Universal
Remote I/O port, it can be configured as either an I/O scanner port or an
I/O adapter port. As an I/O scanner port, it monitors and controls the I/O on
the link by communicating with the I/O adapters for those I/O. As an
adapter port, it communicates only with the I/O scanner port on the link,
passing a maximum of one I/O rack of input and output data between the
two to provide distributed processing.
All PLC5 processors have Data Highway Plus and RS232C/422A/423A
communication ports. In addition to these ports, each Ethernet PLC5
processor has an Ethernet communication port, and each ControlNet PLC5 processor has a ControlNet communication port.
Although each Ethernet PLC5 processor has onboard Ethernet ports; additional Ethernet ports can be added to any PLC5
processor system with a 1785ENET Ethernet Interface Module. PLC5 processors do not have an onboard DeviceNet port. A
DeviceNet port can be added to the system with a 1771SDN scanner module.

capabilities:
Web Diagnostics and Module Information lets a standard web browser access information stored in the PLC5 processor data
table, including module diagnostic information (requires RSLogix5, version 5.2 or later).
Web User Provided Pages allows for unique Web page creation to provide custom data table information. Any Internet user
who has network access to the PLC5 processor can view these pages, which can be either HTML pages that contain data
table elements, text and images, or Custom Data Monitor pages that contain data table elements in table form.
Domain Name Service (DNS) lets Internet users access the builtin Web server by a specified name instead of by IP address
(requires RSLogix5, version 5.2 or later).
PLC5ProcessorswithProtectedMemory(1785L26B,L46B,L86B,L46C15)
All enhanced PLC5 processors have memory protection. However, those processors designated as having the memory protection
feature have the added capability of limiting access to individual words.
Choose a PLC5 processor with protected memory when access must be limited to critical or proprietary areas of programs,
selectively guard processor memory and I/O words, or restrict use of processor operations.
The PLC5 protected memory feature expands system validity and security beyond what is provided by the passwordandprivilege
capability of the other PLC5 enhanced processors. Custom software protection schemes can be designed for each application.
Rockwell Software programming software can be used to assign class privileges to specific user accounts or a user job function,
such as system administrator, plant engineer, maintenance engineer, or operator. Using four privilege classes and associated
passwords, access can be limited to critical program areas and restrict access to:
Communication channels
Remote nodes attached to a DH+ or ControlNet network
Program files
Data files
Individual data words
The PLC5/26, PLC5/46, and PLC5/86 protected processors are equivalent to the PLC5/20, PLC5/40, and PLC5/80 standard
processors, respectively, plus the added memory protection feature. These processors are listed under the heading "Standard PLC5
Processors with Protected Memories" in the PLC5 Processor selection tables.
The PLC5/46C15 protected processor is equivalent to the PLC5/40C15 ControlNet processor plus the added memory protection
feature. This processor is listed under the heading "ControlNet PLC5 Processors with Protected Memories" in the PLC5 Processor
selection tables.

SelectingtheProcessorCategory
Three categories of PLC5 processor are available:
Standard Standard PLC5 processors feature versatile builtin communication options that permit development of a control
architecture that is specific to an application, and an advanced programming instruction set.
Ethernet Ethernet PLC5 processors offer embedded TCP/IP communication capabilities that let them communicate with
other Ethernet PLC5 processors and host computers. They thus integrate AllenBradley architecture into the industry
standard TCP/IP network, offering highperformance peertopeer communication via use of PLC5 message instructions.
Ethernet PLC5 processors are optimized for realtime sequential and regulatory control.
ControlNet ControlNet PLC5 processors are used for control and information processing. They offer highspeed
communication through a ControlNet port. The ControlNet network provides both I/O control faster than the Universal
Remote I/O link and peertopeer communication faster than the DH+ network. These processors eliminate the need for
block transfer programming when communicating with 1771 I/O modules on the ControlNet network that require a onetime
configuration and then continuously read or write.

This does not include DeviceNet I/O.

This type of I/O in this type of controller system requires a separate I/O scanner installed in an I/O module slot.
These are not onboard ports. They are available only through an interface installed in I/O module slot 0.

Total I/O, Max. is the actual I/O circuits, regardless of the number of connection points or I/O image bits. The number of
I/O image bits (8, 16, or 32) that correspond to an I/O module limit the number of I/O at that module; however, some
modules may have less I/O than I/O image bits. This includes local I/O, extended local I/O, and Universal Remote I/O
combined. This does not include DeviceNet I/O.
Any mix means that any number of the I/O can be inputs and any number can be outputs, with no placement restrictions.
Complementary means that to configure this many I/O, pairs of modules must have duplicate addresses. This pair must be
either 2 output modules sharing the same output image bits or an input module and an output module complementing each
other. In either case, module placement must conform to these restrictions.
I/O rack is an I/O addressing unit that can contain a max. of 128 I/O with unique addressing of I/O modules or 256 I/O with
duplicate addressing of I/O modules.
