Product Description
The Allen-Bradley PLC-5-20 is a PLC 5 Standard Processor with 16K user memory words and a built-in port configurable for Data Highway Plus (DH+) or Remote I/O connections, enabling real-time data exchange and peer-to-peer communication. It supports programming in structured text, function blocks, sequential function charts, or logic ladders. Its operating temperature range is 0-60 C (32-140 F), with a storage temperature range of -40-85 C (-40-185 F); exceeding these limits can damage the module. It tolerates relative humidity of 5-95% (non-condensing), operating shock of 30 g (3 pulses, 11 ms), and nonoperating shock of 50 g (3 pulses, 11 ms). The module has a backplane current load of 2.3 A, maximum power dissipation of 12 W, and radiated RF immunity of 10 V/m (1 kHz sine-wave 80% AM, 30-2000 MHz) and 1 V/m (1 kHz sine wave 80% AM, 2000-2700 MHz).
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley PLC-5/20 processor commonly experiences issues such as memory corruption leading to program faults, backplane communication failures causing I/O module errors, and power supply degradation resulting in intermittent operation. Firmware corruption necessitates a memory clear and program reload. Battery depletion leads to memory loss and requires immediate replacement. Resolving these issues involves thorough diagnostics of the CPU module, power supply, and backplane, followed by component replacement or firmware restoration.
