I am speccing out a system for some burner controls and the customer has two SLC500s that will need to be upgraded. There is no distributed IO.
I share my office with another controls guy, who keeps recommending the micrologix800, but I heard from our AB distributor that micrologix is at end of life, wont be supported within the next few years and that they are redirecting their silicon chip resources towards other, newer, more in-demand lines.
I would recommend a compact or control logix over micro but this guy just wont shut up about it. I was possibly thinking of the 440C industrial safety controller as well, its a neat little device.
Does anyone have any thoughts on speccing micrologix for upgrades or new installs in the current AB ecosystem in the northeast united states?
Thanks. :site:
