A-B 1746-BAS

The Allen-Bradley 1746-BAS is a BASIC language module designed for the SLC 500 family of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This module allows users to write and execute custom BASIC programs within the SLC 500 system. It can be used for various tasks such as data manipulation, communication with serial devices, and implementing custom control algorithms. The module plugs directly into the SLC 500 chassis.

Key Characteristics:

BASIC Programming: Enables users to develop custom applications using the BASIC programming language.
Serial Communication: Typically features one or more serial ports for communication with devices using RS-232 or RS-485 protocols.
Data Manipulation: Allows for complex data processing and calculations within the PLC system.
Custom Control: Facilitates the implementation of specialized control routines beyond standard PLC ladder logic.
Integration with SLC 500: Designed for seamless integration into the SLC 500 modular hardware platform.
