OK, I was reading on the Management Statement at the bottom of this page on the Rockwell site how they are planning to support the SLC 500 for the next decade blah blah blah
… While we cannot predict component availability and market forces for the SLC 500 that would allow us to do the same, we are committed to the sale and support of the SLC 500 family for the foreseeable future.
If you were going to put a new controller in a new machine, what would you replace a SLC 500 with? Micrologix?
Nothing too fancy, just a couple of analog cards and a few digital in outs.
This is what a similar machine has in it.
