Hi guys
I'm new to this forum. I'm also fairly new to PLCs and my experience has been with the Logix 5000 platform.
In my workplace we have a mixture of platforms from 5s through to 5000s. We are looking to upgrade our 5 with a 5000 but would like to avoid replacing everything due to the extensive wiring.
I was wondering if there was a way to incorporate a Logix 5000 controller (preferrably ControlLogix) with the existing I/O of the PLC-5. Do I need, for example, interfacing cards or any particular module to achieve this?
Cheers
