Anyone out there with PLC5 to Contrologix experience? I am hoping to get some feedback.
I'm considering converting a PLC5 40E Ethernet to Contrologix, for support and expandability reasons. There also is the possibility of adding a lot more logic to this process and the 5/40E is already filled to the brim with stuff.
There are a few remote racks on RemoteIO and DH+ to other PLC5. I would like to keep the current IOs. So is this possible? If so, what would be the least painful way of doing this? I’m thinking of putting the Ctrlx in a small chassis then connect this new chassis to existing I/Os using either DH+ or ControlNet. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.
