Good evening everyone,
I am looking at a new project that will involve swapping out a SLC 5/04 processor with a CompactLogix using the 1747-AENTR in the SLC Chassis.
I have used the Ethernet/IP Capacity Tool and determined that a L18ER will handle the Remote I/O Requirements via Ethernet.
The next question is will the 512K of memory in the L18 be enough for my program conversion? I know the 5/04 has 32K of memory so on the surface it would appear that I have way more than needed. On the other hand I also know that the Logix line of PLC's use memory way differently than the SLC. So I know it is not a simple 1 to 1 conversion.
So for all of you that have done this kind of upgrade before how much did you see your program grow in size after the conversion?
Thanks for any insight you can provide!! :site:
