HI, Is there a panelview (Allen bradley) that can communicate with Simatic S5 PLC?

I tried a long time ago but gave up... at the time I was looking at a Red Lion data station to convert the TTY (S5) to DF1, not even sure if the data stations support the S5 anymore

You would be better off changing (upgrading) the S5

I also recommend to replace the S5 PLC rather than wasting time and money on a cludge solution that only give temporary relief.

Yes I was planning to upgrade the S5 plc to controllogix that's why I'm thinking if I can use an AB panelview for the HMI so that I can still use the AB panelview after the upgrade.

Thanks for the reply!!!!!
