PLC-5/
SLC-500 Migration Services

Eliminate risk associated with obsolete PLC systems

Managing the lifecycle of your control system can be a daunting risk. Migrating your existing control systems mitigates expensive and extensive downtime. Discover how our PLC-5/SLC-500 Migration Services can solve these lifecycle challenges.
 

The True North Solutions
Migration Methodology

True North’s PLC-5 Migration team has developed a proven strategy that will allow you to quickly and easily migrate from PLC-5/SLC-500 controllers and 1771/1746/1747-Series I/O to an Integrated Modern Control System, while maintaining the existing field wiring and physical footprint in your control cabinet. This approach will provide you with:
 

System risks

  • Critical components of the Allen-Bradley PLC-5/SLC-500 controller and 1771/1746/1747–Series I/O hardware platforms are no longer being manufactured
  • System or part failure results in increased downtime as replacement takes longer
  • Low availability of replacement parts, increased maintenance costs and decreased remote support capabilities
Benefits of migration
