Description
The Allen-Bradley 1746-A10 is a 10-slot modular chassis designed for the SLC 500 programmable logic controller system. This chassis provides the physical mounting and electrical backplane communication required to support up to ten SLC 500 I/O or specialty modules. It serves as the backbone for the controller rack, facilitating power distribution and data exchange between the processor and the connected I/O modules.
Features
- 10-slot capacity for flexible I/O configuration.
- Designed specifically for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 system architecture.
- Robust mechanical design for secure module seating and vibration resistance.
- Integrates directly with the SLC 500 power supply and processor modules.
Applications
This chassis is used in industrial automation environments requiring a scalable and reliable I/O rack system. It is commonly utilized in manufacturing, process control, and machine automation where multiple I/O modules need to be managed by a single SLC 500 processor.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the chassis is mounted on a flat, clean, and vibration-dampened surface within an appropriate industrial enclosure.
- Verify that the power supply is disconnected before installing or removing any I/O modules from the chassis backplane.
- Ensure proper grounding of the chassis to the enclosure backplane to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Maintain adequate clearance around the chassis to allow for proper airflow and cooling, preventing heat buildup within the rack.
- When inserting modules, ensure they are properly aligned with the backplane connector and fully seated before tightening the retaining screws.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the 1746-A10?
The 1746-A10 is a 10-slot chassis that provides the electrical backplane and mechanical housing for SLC 500 processor and I/O modules.
Is this chassis compatible with all SLC 500 modules?
Yes, the 1746-A10 is designed to support standard 1746-series I/O modules used within the SLC 500 platform.
Does this unit include a power supply?
No, the 1746-A10 is a chassis only. The power supply must be ordered separately and is typically mounted to the side of the chassis.
