Figure 1-6. A Basic System
An assembly of baseplate and modules such as this one is called a “Rack.”
What else would be needed to make this basic system functional?
To make this basic system functional, you would need:
Mounting. Safe, secure mounting for the PLC in a protective enclosure.
Wiring. This includes properly installed incoming power to the power supply, as well as
wiring from the I/O modules to field devices such as switches, sensors, solenoids, relays, etc.
Program. An application program for the PLC to run. This is developed with GE PLC
programming software.
What if the application requires more than five modules?
You could use a 10-slot baseplate, shown in the next picture:
