Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: Is this 1746-A2 chassis sold empty, or does it include a processor?
A1: The 1746-A2 is sold as an empty chassis. It is designed to house a separate SLC 500 processor module (like a 1747-L5xx) and one additional I/O or communication module.
Q2: What is the main application for a 2-slot chassis like the 1746-A2?
A2: It is perfect for compact control applications, remote I/O stations, standalone machines, or as a backup/test unit. It's also commonly used in systems where only a few I/O points are needed alongside the processor.
Q3: Can I use any SLC 500 I/O module in the second slot?
A3: Yes. The 1746-A2 chassis is compatible with the full range of 1746-series discrete I/O, analog I/O, and communication modules. Ensure you have the correct power budget for the chosen modules.

Q5: What power supply is required for a system built with this chassis?
A5: The chassis itself does not include a power supply. You will need a compatible SLC 500 power supply module (e.g., 1746-P1, P2, P3, P4, or P7) installed in a separate chassis or a dedicated power source to provide backplane power.
