Allen-Bradley SLC500 DeviceNet Scanner Module

The DeviceNet Scanner Module, also known as scanner module, communication module, or fieldbus scanner, with type number SLC500 from Allen-Bradley is an electrical module for communication in industrial automation systems. It has the dimensions 12 x 4 x 17 cm and weighs 0.4 kg. DeviceNet scanner modules enable a control device to exchange data with other devices via a DeviceNet network by acting as an interface. This is essential for the integration and control of decentralized I/O systems and other fieldbus components. Typical applications are found in factory automation for controlling production lines and in process control technology for monitoring and regulating plants.
