Do you still have any of these?
Maybe it’s time to upgrade.
Don’t let a failure stop production. Start your PLC-5
migration to ControlLogix today.
Due to the end-of-life status of Allen-Bradley® PLC-5® hardware, the cost and scarcity of replacement parts, and increasing risk of using obsolete hardware – we urge you to upgrade now. Start planning your PLC-5 migration to the ControlLogix® platform today. Cates can help!
The Cost and Risk of Using PLC-5 Hardware is Increasing
PLC-5 Hardware is Obsolete
Rockwell Automation discontinued the 1785 and 1771 series hardware in June 2017 and no longer sells or supports it.
Many Systems Continue Using It
Don’t risk a failure without an available replacement to minimize downtime. We urge you to migrate to the ControlLogix platform.
Replacements are Scarce
Many users buy expensive components from third party suppliers — increasing cost and risk as the parts often have no guarantee.
