Introduction
1785 PLC-5 Programmable Controller: The Foundation of Control Architecture
The PLC-5 controller stands at the center of a control architecture that brings together existing and future systems by means of networks such as EtherNet/IPTM, ControlNetTM and DeviceNetTM, and offers connectivity among SLCTM 500 and ControlLogix and MicroLogixTM controllers. Because they include embedded network connections, PLC-5 controllers enable your control architecture to be flexible enough to include cost-effective connections to a wide range of devices.

Introduction
PLC-5 System Overview
A PLC-5 / 1771 control system, at minimum, consists of a programmable controller module and I/O modules in a single 1771 chassis with a power supply. You choose the controller with the on-board communication ports you need.
A simple system can consist of only a stand-alone controller and I/O modules all in a single chassis
PLC-5 Programmable Controller
1771 I/O Chassis Backplane
1771 I/O modules in the I/O chassis in which the PLC-5 controller resides. A maximum of 512 I/O.
On-board Universal Remote I/O scanner ports are available on all PLC-5 controllers. On-board extended-local I/O scanner ports are available on some PLC-5 controllers. On-board ControlNet ports are available on some PLC-5 controllers. To provide a DeviceNet I/O scanner port to the system, you must add a DeviceNet scanner module (1771-SDN).
Introduction
In the typical configuration illustration, a ControlNet port on the processor module interfaces the processor to the ControlNet link. In each of the two chassis remote from the processor, a 1771-ACN15 I/O adapter module provides I/O modules in those chassis with an interface to the ControlNet link. In this configuration, the PLC-5 processor monitors/controls the I/O in its local I/O chassis as well as the I/O in the remote locations.

You plug a 1771 power supply module into an I/O module slot, or connect a stand-alone 1771 power supply into the left end of each chassis. Depending on the communication ports available on your particular PLC control system, you can select operator interfaces that are compatible with those particular ports.
Introduction
Lay Out the System
Lay out the system by determining the network configuration and the placement of components in each location. Decide at this time whether each location will have its own controller. Place each controllers I/O on an isolated network to maximize the performance and to more easily accommodate future network or system configuration changes. If you plan to share I/O, make sure the I/O is on a network that each controller can access. Assume that Network A and Network B both require a controller and its I/O. Both controllers interact with time critical information.

For a PLC-5 controller to control I/O modules, both the controller and the I/O modules must be directly attached to the same network.

Evaluate what communications need to occur between controllers. If there is sporadic information that is not time-critical, use a message-based network such as an EtherNet/IP (the information portion), Data Highway PlusTM, or the unscheduled portion of the ControlNet network. If the information is time-critical, such as producer/consumer tags between controllers, use the ControlNet or EtherNet/IP network.
Introduction
Applying Backup Solutions

The ControlNet hot backup module (1785-CHBM) provides backup of ControlNet I/O. A secondary controller qualifies critical control information with the primary controller. Both controllers consume information from inputs and connect to outputs, but only the primary controller controls the outputs. The secondary controller establishes control of outputs if the primary controller shuts down. For more information, see page 23.

Step 2 - Select: EtherNet/IP Protocol ControlNet Network DeviceNet Network Serial Network Data Highway Plus Universal Remote I/O
Use specific PLC-5 controllers with network connections and install multiple communication modules into the PLC-5 backplane to route control and information data between the different networks. The networking capabilities, led by EtherNet/IP network, ControlNet network, and DeviceNet network, allow information exchange between a range of devices and computing platforms and operating systems. PLC-5 controllers come with different network connections. Choose the network(s) that best meets your needs.
NetLinx Architecture
NetLinx open network architecture is the Rockwell Automation strategy of using open networking technology for seamless, top-floor to shop-floor integration. The networks in the NetLinx architecture - DeviceNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP - speak a common language and share a universal set of communication services. NetLinx architecture, part of the Integrated Architecture, seamlessly integrates all the components in an automation system from a few devices on one network to multiple devices on multiple networks including access to the Internet - helping you to improve flexibility, reduce installation costs and increase productivity. EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard that supports implicit and explicit messaging and uses commercial, off-the-shelf Ethernet equipment and physical media. ControlNet allows intelligent, high-speed control devices to share the information required for supervisory control, work-cell coordination, operator interface, remote device configuration, programming and troubleshooting. DeviceNet offers high-speed access to plant-floor data from a broad range of plant-floor devices and a significant reduction in wiring..

Universal Remote I/O
The strength and versatility of the Universal Remote I/O network comes from the breadth of products it supports. In addition to 1771 I/O, the Universal Remote I/O network supports many Rockwell Automation and third-party devices. Typical applications range from simple I/O links with controllers and I/O, to links with a variety of other devices. You connect devices through remote I/O adapter modules or built-in remote I/O adapters. Using the Universal Remote I/O network instead of direct-wiring a device over a long distance to a local I/O chassis helps reduce installation, start-up, and maintenance costs by placing the I/O closer to the sensors and actuators. Some devices like PLC-5 support Pass-Through, which lets you configure devices on a Universal Remote I/O network from an Ethernet, ControlNet or Data Highway Plus network.

The distinctive safety-yellow labels on the controller identify the protected PLC-5 controller. Use the programming software to assign class privileges to specific user accounts or a users job function, such as system administrator, plant engineer, maintenance engineer, or operator. Using four privilege classes and associated passwords, you can limit access to critical areas of programs and restrict access to: communication channels remote nodes attached to the ControlNet or DH+ network program files data files
The protected PLC-5 controller expands system validity and security beyond that provided by the password-and-privilege feature of the other PLC-5 controllers. The Rockwell Automation clutch/brake application package combines the protected PLC-5 controller with specially-designed software to support stamping press applications.

Step 4 - Select Chassis:
with the number of slots you need that meet your power supply requirements that meet your panel size and space limitations
The PLC-5 programmable controller requires a 1771 chassis to contain the various modules. Chassis are available in sizes of 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 module slots. The backplane provides a communication path between the I/O modules and either the controller or the I/O adapter module. The consistent size and mounting of the available 1771 chassis provide a universal configuration for system design and chassis-mounting configurations. If you anticipate that your system will expand, you may want to purchase larger chassis for future expansion.

Power Requirements and Transformer Sizing
Each ac input power supply generates a shutdown signal on the backplane whenever the ac line voltage drops below its lower voltage limit. It removes the shutdown signal when the line voltage comes back up to the lower voltage limit. This shutdown is necessary to help ensure that only valid data is stored in memory. The external transformer rating (in VA) of each power supply is greater than its real input power (in watts) because a capacitor-input ac/dc supply draws power only from the peak of the ac voltage wave form. If the transformer is too small, it clips the peak of the sine wave, when the voltage is still above the lower voltage limit, the power supply will sense this clipped wave form as low voltage and could prematurely shut down modules in the chassis. The following graphs display the backplane power load on the vertical axis. Since these supplies have multiple outputs, the backplane power load is given in watts. Use the real power value in watts for determining the amount of heat dissipation you will have inside the enclosure Use the apparent power value in VA for estimating power distribution sizing Use the transformer load value in VA of each power supply plus all other loads on a transformer to determine the required transformer size

Instruction Set
The PLC-5 controller supports multiple industry-standard programming languages. You can program logic in IEC 1131-based structured text, function block, and these built-in ladder logic instructions:
Instruction Family relay-type timer and counter compare compute Description The bit (relay-type) instructions monitor and control the status of bits. XIC, XIO, OTE, OTL, OTU,IIN, IOT, IDI, IDO The timer and counter instructions control operations based on time or the number of events. TON, TOF, RTO, CTU, CTD, RES The compare instructions compare values by using an expression or a specific compare instruction. CMP, EQU, GEQ, GRT, LEQ, LES, LIM, MEQ, NEQ The compute/math instructions evaluate arithmetic operations using an expression or a specific arithmetic instruction. CPT, ACS, ADD, ASN, ATN, AVE, CLR, COS, DIV, LN, LOG, MUL, NEG, SIN, SQR, SRT, STD, SUB, TAN, XPY The logical instructions perform logical operations on bits. AND, NOT, OR, XOR The conversion instruction convert integer and BCD values or convert radian and degree values. TOD, FRD, DEG, RAD The move instructions modify and move bits. BTD, MOV, MVM The file instructions perform operations on file data and compare file data. FAL, FSC, COP, FLL The diagnostic instructions compare data to help you detect problems. FBC, DDT, DTR Use the shift instructions to modify the location of data within files. BSL, BSR, FFL, FFU, LFL, LFU Sequencer instructions monitor consistent and repeatable operations. SQO, SQI, SQL Program flow instructions change the flow of ladder program execution. MCR, JMP, LBL, FOR, NXT, BRK, JSR, SBR, RET, TND, AFI, ONS, OSR, OSF, SFR, EOT, UIE, UID The process control instruction provides closed-loop control. PID The block-transfer instructions transfer words to or from other devices. BTR, BTW, CIO The message instruction reads or writes a block of data to another station. MSG The ASCII instruction read, write, compare, and convert ASCII strings. ABL, ACB, ACI, ACN, AEX, AHL, AIC, ARD, ARL, ASC, ASR, AWA, AWT
