1-6 Module and Development Software Overview
Typical Configurations
The typical configuration of the SLC system that incorporates your BASIC or
BASIC-T module depends on whether the module is:
• integrated with a SLC 500 fixed or modular controller
• programmed directly with an ASCII terminal or programmed using a personal
computer with the BASIC Development Software 1747-PBASE
• communicating with a DH485 network or with an external source through a
modem using DF1 protocol
Module Integration
The module is a single-slot module that is inserted into a slot in the expansion
chassis of your SLC 500 fixed controller or an open slot in the 1746 I/O chassis of
your SLC 500 modular controller. The module may be inserted in any slot of the
1746 I/O chassis except the first slot of the first chassis, which is reserved for the
SLC modular processor. Typical SLC fixed and modular configurations are shown
in the following figures.
