Our Allen‑Bradley PLC-5® programmable logix controllers had a long run, but they are now discontinued. We are here to help you migrate and take advantage of new functionality and capabilities found in the ControlLogix® platform of controllers. Whether you’re looking for tools to help you do it yourself, or would like a turnkey migration solution, we can assist with your PLC-5 migration.


Resources to Help You Migrate

The PLC-5 Control System is among the largest installed base of any one control platform. However, spare parts, repaired units, and skilled engineers are becoming increasingly scarce.

There are plenty of resources available to help you migrate, and you have several options as you develop a proactive lifecycle plan. You may choose to work with a trusted partner such as Rockwell Automation, a system integrator/solution provider, or even do it yourself. We offer a full portfolio of modernization and migration services and tools to ease the process.
