Allen-Bradley PLC-5

Allen-Bradley PLC-5 is a popular programmable logic controller (PLC) manufactured by Rockwell Automation. Launched in 1985, it was one of the first commercial PLCs to use a 32-bit microprocessor, significantly enhancing its processing power compared to earlier PLCs. The PLC-5 features a modular system that allows users to customize the PLC according to their specific needs by adding or removing modules. It was also one of the first PLCs to support Ethernet communication, making it easier to integrate with other automation systems. The PLC-5 supports a variety of I/O modules, including analog, digital, and specialty modules. It utilizes a powerful programming language called RSLogix 5, which simplifies the creation of complex control programs.

However, the PLC-5 has been discontinued, and Rockwell Automation recommends customers migrate to the ControlLogix platform. If you are looking for Allen-Bradley PLC-5 parts, Meloauto still has a wide inventory of brand-new, genuine PLC-5 parts and offers a 12-month warranty.
