Howdy all. Here's a question for you to christen my posting to these boards.
What was the last year the Allen Bradley SLC-150 was produced? I ask because I've got one installed in a machine I'm responsible for servicing and my customer is vehemently crying foul, saying this machine has a PLC that hasn't been in use since the 80's, how dare we not give him a free upgrade...yadda yadda.
Now...I know SLC-150's were used in the late 80's and early 90's, but when were they finally discontinued? This machine was produced in 2002 so I can't believe that the manufacturer would have taken a 10 year old PLC and put it in the cabinet...Were SLC-150's manufactured as late as 2002? I've only been fiddling with PLC's for the last 2 years so I don't have the length of time in the industry to simply say "Yes" or "No".
Anyone know? Google's not getting me anywhere. Methinks the parameters a mite bit specific.
