I recently came aboard a new company. They (or we I should say) have a critical robotic process line that has an infeed conveyor section running on a SLC 5/01 processor. My inclination is to upgrade it to a 5/05, but with such a wide gap in years between the two, I'm wondering if everything else is 100% compatible, like the rack in particular. I remember 5/01's and using a PIC device twenty, maybe 30 years ago? Never thought I 'd see a PIC again let alone a 5/01. We do actually have a spare 5/01, but in the name of extreme obsolescence, I still want to bring it up to the latest and greatest ( I know also discontinued) SLC-5/05 for the sake of ethernet at the very least. Anyone see any problems doing that?
