Allen-Bradley PLC-5® Controller Systems are discontinued. Are you prepared?
As Allen-Bradley PLC-5® systems become outdated and repairs become more expensive, the cost of maintaining them is quickly adding up. The hardware was discontinued in February of 2022 and the software is scheduled to be discontinued December 31, 2025.
By migrating to ControlLogix, manufacturers can save money in the long run by reducing maintenance and repair costs while enjoying the following benefits:
Enhanced Performance
ControlLogix controllers offer superior performance compared to PLC-5 systems. With faster processing speeds and more memory, these controllers can handle complex automation tasks more efficiently, reducing cycle times and improving overall productivity.
Advanced Diagnostics
ControlLogix also allows for real-time monitoring and analysis. This enables quicker troubleshooting and reduces the risk of unexpected downtime.
Better Communication Capabilities
ControlLogix controllers use Ethernet/IP for communication, which provides high-speed, reliable, and secure data transfer. This allows for seamless integration with other automation equipment and software, enabling you to build highly efficient and interconnected systems.
Be advised – the longer you wait to make the transition, the more costly and complex the project becomes.
