1746-A10 SLC 500 Ten-Slot Chassis

The Allen-Bradley 1746-A10 is the expansion backbone for SLC 500. Its robust backplane and keyed slotting make it simple to house a CPU, digital/analog I/O and communication cards (DH-485, RIO, serial bridges). Choose the 1746-A10 when panel space allows and you want future-proof capacity for machine upgrades or spares consolidation.

Highlights

• Capacity: 10 module positions for CPU, I/O and comms.

• Reliability: Proven 1746 backplane for 24/7 industrial duty.

• Serviceability: Clear slot numbering; simplifies wiring and documentation.

• Integration: Compatible with standard SLC 500 power supplies and modules.

Use cases

Machine rebuilds, plant standard racks, multi-network gateways (e.g., CPU + 1747-KE + remote I/O).
