Bill of Materials — Allen-Bradley PLCs
Know What's
Actually in Your Machine
Upload your Allen-Bradley file and extract a complete bill of materials: every module, catalog number, vendor, revision, slot assignment, and IP address. No Studio 5000 required.
- The bill of materials shows every module, controller, and I/O device in your PLC, with catalog numbers, vendors, revisions, and slot assignments pulled directly from the file.
- Extract a complete hardware inventory from ACD and L5X files (RSS partial support) without Studio 5000, RSLogix, or any Rockwell license.
- Use the BOM to order spares, plan chassis migrations, audit hardware against your drawings, or verify equipment matches your engineering documentation.
- In our testing, teams found the most value in matching hardware on the shop floor to their actual configuration, catching mismatches and expired revisions faster than manual audits.
What the Tool
Can Extract
Extract Complete Hardware Inventory
See every module, controller, and I/O device in your PLC program at a glance, with full catalog numbers and vendor information from the file itself.
Catalog Numbers and Specifications
Get the exact part numbers, firmware revisions, and vendor data you need to order spares, check EOL status, or verify equipment matches your drawings.
Slot Assignments and Point Counts
Understand where each module sits in your chassis and how many analog or digital points it provides, so you can plan chassis migrations or expansions.
IP Addresses and Network Config
Locate IP addresses and network module settings for any Ethernet devices in your control system, so you can audit network connectivity and plan infrastructure.
Search and Filter by Type or Vendor
Find all analog input modules, all Siemens devices, or all modules in Slot 3. Sort by catalog number or point count to quickly locate the hardware you need.
Export for Procurement or Audit
Download the bill of materials as a table or CSV, send it to your supplier, or audit it against your BOM drawings and equipment tags on the floor.
What is a PLC Bill of Materials?
A bill of materials is a structured inventory of every hardware module, controller, and I/O device connected to your PLC chassis. When you upload an ACD, L5X, or RSS file, the tool reads the module tree and I/O configuration and produces a complete list showing:
- The catalog number and module type for each slot (controller, analog input, digital output, etc.).
- Vendor, firmware revision, and any firmware status or warnings from the configuration.
- Exact point counts for each I/O module (16 analog channels, 32 digital points, etc.).
- IP addresses and network module settings for any Ethernet or communication devices.
- Grouping by panel or chassis, so you can audit one subsystem at a time.
The most immediate use is answering "what is actually in this machine?" A technician on the shop floor can compare the hardware they see against the BOM and catch missing modules, wrong revisions, or network devices that were never configured. For procurement, you get exact part numbers to order spares or replacements. For migration planning, you see the slot layout and point budgets to know whether your new chassis can accommodate the load.
How to Extract a Bill of Materials
Upload your PLC file
Upload your Allen-Bradley ACD, L5X, or RSS file to plc.company. The tool reads the entire module tree automatically.
View the hardware list
Browse the complete bill of materials, showing every module, catalog number, vendor, revision, and slot assignment in your program.
Find the module you need
Search by catalog number, module type, or vendor, or filter by panel. Use the point counts and IP addresses to match equipment on your shop floor.
Export and share
Export the hardware list as a table or CSV, copy rows to your procurement system, or share with your team for spare planning or audits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PLC bill of materials?
A bill of materials (BOM) for a PLC is a complete list of every hardware module, controller, and I/O device in your program. It includes the catalog numbers, vendor info, revisions, slot assignments, point counts, and IP addresses where configured. It answers the question 'what is actually in this machine?' when you need to order spares, plan a migration, or audit your hardware.
Can I extract a bill of materials without Studio 5000?
Yes. Upload your ACD, L5X, or RSS file to plc.company and the tool reads the entire module tree and I/O configuration. You do not need Studio 5000, RSLogix, or any Rockwell license to extract the hardware list. The tool works in your browser and extracts the data in seconds.
What information does the bill of materials include?
The BOM shows each module by slot, including the catalog number, module type (controller, analog input, digital output, etc.), vendor, firmware revision, point counts, and any configured IP addresses or network settings. You can filter by panel, module type, or vendor, and sort by any column to find the exact part you need.
Which Allen-Bradley file types are supported?
The bill of materials tool works with ACD and L5X files from Studio 5000 (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix) and RSS files from RSLogix 500 (SLC 500, MicroLogix). It reads the raw module configuration, so you get an accurate hardware list regardless of how the program is structured.
Can I export or share the bill of materials?
Yes. Once extracted, you can export the hardware list as a table or CSV, copy specific rows, or share it with your team. This is useful for procurement, maintenance scheduling, migration planning, or auditing equipment against your engineering drawings.
