    2–22 Selecting Your Hardware Components Selecting Isolation If there is high frequency conducted noise in or around your Transformers distribution equipment, we recommend the use of an isolation transformer in the AC line to the power supply. This type of transformer provides isolation from your power distribution system and is often used as a “step down”...
  • Page 46: Special Considerations

  • Page 49: Selecting Contact Protection

    Suitable surge suppression methods for inductive AC load devices include a varistor, an RC network, or an Allen-Bradley surge suppressor. These components must be appropriately rated to suppress the switching transient characteristic of the particular inductive device.
  • Page 50: Transistor Output Transient Pulses

    1747- 4 1747-L40L 1746-OV32 For the SLC 500 products listed above, the maximum duration of the transient pulse occurs when minimum load is connected to the output. However, for most applications the energy of the transient pulse is not sufficient to energize the load.
  • Page 51: Example

    2–28 Selecting Your Hardware Components To reduce the possibility of inadvertent operation of devices connected to transistor outputs, adhere to the following guidelines: Either ensure that any programmable device connected to the transistor output is programmed to ignore all output signals until after the transient pulse has ended, or add an external resistor in parallel to the load to increase the on-state load current.

  • Page 54: Preventing Excessive Heat

    System Installation Recommendations 3–3 Preventing Excessive Heat For most applications, normal convection cooling will keep the adapter components within the specified operating range of 0 C to +60 C (+32 F to +140 F). Proper spacing of components within the enclosure is usually sufficient for heat dissipation. In some applications, a substantial amount of heat is produced by other equipment inside or outside the enclosure.

  • Page 58: Master Control Relay

    System Installation Recommendations 3–7 Master Control Relay A hard-wired master control relay (supplied by you) provides a convenient means for emergency controller shutdown. Since the master control relay allows the placement of several emergency-stop switches in different locations, its installation is important from a safety standpoint.
  • Page 59: Emergency-Stop Switches

    Emergency-stop switches must be easy to reach. See the following schematics. Power Considerations The following explains power considerations for the SLC 500 processor. Common Power Source We strongly recommend that all chassis power supplies have the same power source as the input and output devices.
  • Page 60: Grounded Ac Power-Distribution System With Master-Control Relay

    ATTENTION: Your SLC 500 power supply can be damaged by voltage surges when switching inductive loads such as motors, motor starters, solenoids, and relays. To avoid damage to your SLC 500 power supply in these applications, it is strongly recommended that an isolation transformer be used to isolate the power supply from harmful voltage surges.
  • Page 61: Loss Of Power Source

    3–10 System Installation Recommendations Loss of Power Source The chassis power supplies are designed to withstand brief power losses without affecting the operation of the system. The time the system is operational during power loss is called “program scan hold-up time after loss of power.” The duration of the power supply hold-up time depends on the number, type and state of the I/O modules, but is typically between 20 ms and 3 seconds.

    Setting Node Addresses The best network performance occurs when node addresses start at 0 and are assigned in sequential order. SLC 500 processors default to node address 1. The node address is stored in the processor status file (S:15L). Processors cannot be node 0. Also, initiators such as personal computers should be assigned the lowest numbered addresses to minimize the time required to initialize the network.
