Various supporting Communication Protocols of AB PLC SLC series.

In this post I am going to tell you the supporting communication protocols for SLC series of AB PLC.
Before I will tell you about various supporting communication protocols, I want you to get familiar with what is communication protocols exactly??

So, Communication protocols is nothing but set of rules for data transmission over a communication network when PLC is connected to other PLC or communication network.


There are various communication protocols available for PLC  like DH485, RS232, DH+(Data HighWay+), Ethernet, Universal Remote I/O's, Device Net, Control Net, etc.

DH485 :-

  • With this protocol we can connect up to 32 nodes to each other(means we can connect maximum 32 PLC stations to each other).
  • This protocol supports to SLC 5/01, SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03 AB PLC series.
  • This protocol supports 4000 feet of communication length with baud rate of 19200 bits/sec(19.2 Kb/s).

RS232 :-

  • It has the same baud rate as of DH485 that is of 19.2 Kb/s.
  • This protocols supports 33 feet of communication length, and used for point to point interfacing that is we cant only connects two nodes to each other.
  • This protocol supports to SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, SLC 5/05 AB PLC series.

DH+ :-

  • This protocol is used for communication length of 10,000 feet with baud rate of 230.4 Kb/s.
  • DataHighWay + can be used for connecting maximum 64 nodes to each other.
  • AB PLC SLC 5/04 PLC series supports this communication Protocol.

Ethernet :-

  • This protocol has excellent advantage of unlimited communication length and unlimited node capacity that is we can connected infinite no. of nodes to each other without limitation of network length.
  • This protocol has a baud rate of 10 to 100 Mb/sec.
  • AB PLC SLC 5/05 supports this Communication Protocol.

Universal remote I/O's :-

  • This Protocol Support most of the AB PLC SLC series like SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, SLC 5/05.
  • It has a baud rate of 230.4 Kb/s and can be used to connect maximum 32 nodes to each other.
  • It is used to connect two stations of up to 10,000 feet of communication length.

Device net :- 

  • This protocol has a baud rate of 500 Kb/s and with this protocol we can connect maximum 32 nodes to each other.
  • This protocol supports maximum 1700 feet of communication length.
  • This protocol also support most of the SLC series PLC like SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, SLC 5/05.

Control net :- 

  • This communication protocol has a good supporting communication length of 30 Km and has a baud rate of 5 Mb/s.
  • With this communication protocol we can connect maximum 99 nodes to each other and it support to SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, SLC 5/05 AB PLC series.

Timers in Siemens PLC Simatic manager

Timer :- Timer is nothing but a specialized clock in a programming software used to count the preset time intervals. In   Siemens PLC we have various ty pes of timers as :- 1) S_PULSE(Pulse timer), 2) S_PEXT(Extended Pulse Timer), 3) S_ODT(On Delay Timer), 4) S_ODTS(Retentive On Delay Timer), 5) S_OFFDT(Off Delay Timer). You must find out another five instruction sets in Timer Block in Simatic Manager STEP 7 as :- -(SP) pulse timer coil, -(SE) extended pulse timer coil, -(SD) on delay timer coil, -(SS) retentive on delay timer coil, -(SF) off delay timer coil. 1) S_PULSE(Pulse timer) :- S_PULSE Timer   Above Fig Shows how to use this timer in programming software,in this fig i have used 5 sec as a preset value, If you want to change it replace the 5 with any duration you want in S5T# 5 S.    In S_PULSE timer if input to timer is ON then timer starts Counting time as well as we get the Output at the instant the input is made ON. In t...

Bit Logic Instruction in Simatic manager

There are total 14 instructions under the bit logic instruction like NO contact, NC contact, SR flip-flop, RS flip-flop,invert power flow etc. lets see the detailed use of them.  A) Normally open contact :- Normally open contacts are closed when the bit value stored at the specific address is equal to 1 (one)(here the specific address refers to the address assigned to the NO contact), when we press the Normally open contact assigned to the specific address then it becomes functionally closed and we get supply. here in below fig. when we press the NO contact I0.0 then Output Q0.0 gets ON and when we release the input I0.0 then Output gets OFF. B)Normally Closed Contact :- Normally closed contacts are closed when the bit value stored at the specific add, i.e. the address assigned to the NC contact is equal to 0(zero). when we press the Normally closed contact assigned to the specific address then it becomes functionally open and supply is cuts off. NC contact wor...
