I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the terminating resistors on the Remote I/O cabling. The original post does admit to being new to this old technology. Many a user has pulled many a hair out due to loose or improper terminating resistors. IN THIS CASE, perhaps the old system's scanner was just sloppy enough to not care, but, when upgrading to a new scanner, the rules are different. Yes, the 'cable hasn't changed', but yes also..the scanner has.
I've actually had this experience when upgrading from PLC2 to PLC5.
And, IMHO, the poster need not apologize for the shortcoming decisions of his masters. They've already waited 5 years too long up upgrade the PLC2's....they Silvered in the late 90's or early 00's, didn't they?
