...From the pictures, it at least LOOKS about the same, but who knows...
Me knows...
The Micro870 supports the same 2080- Plug-in Modules and 2085- Expansion I/O Modules as the Micro850 controller.
The 850 supports up to 5 Plug-in Modules
The 870 supports up to 3 Plug-in Modules
The 850 supports up to 4 Expansion I/O Modules
The 870 supports up to 8 Expansion I/O Modules
The 850 supports up to 132 max. Digital I/O
The 870 supports up to 296 max. Digital I/O
The 850 supports up to 10K instructions / 20Kb data
The 870 supports up to 20K instructions / 280Kb data
The 850 supports up to 6 x 100 KHz High Speed Counters (HSC)
The 870 supports up to 4 x 100 KHz High Speed Counters (HSC)
There are currently only two controller models being released (March 2018) for the Micro870 -
2080-LC70-24QWB - 4 IN / 10 OUT RELAY / 0 PTO / 4 HSC
2080-LC70-24QBB - 4 IN / 10 OUT 24VDC / 3 PTO / 4 HSC
Whereas there are currently Micro850 controller models that support more Embedded I/O -
2080-LC50-48QBB - 28 IN / 20 OUT / 3 PTO / 6 HSC
I'm sure other models of the Micro870 will be released in time.
CCW v11 (due for release this month) will introduce -
Run Mode Change allows for Online Editing (Developer Edition)
User-Defined Data Types (UDT) (Developer Edition)
Instruction Toolbar for quicker drag/drop
Copy/paste from RSLogix 500 or Logix Designer
AOPs for PowerFlex Drives / GuardShield Safety Light Curtains
PanelView 800 Enhanced - FTP (alarms, data log, recipes), Email, Printing (Ethernet or USB)
...and so on.
I wrote this little synopsis of my assessment to that point of the Micro800 family of controllers...
