Rockwell PLC-5 Migration To ControlLogix |

Since the Silver Series announcement for the PLC5 system, many users have taken up the opportunity to migrate their old systems to the latest ControlLogix platform before the PLC5 support ends. To assist in this required migration, Rockwell Automation have developed some very sleek and easy to install modular adapter units along with some very useful migration tools, together these provide a very quick and efficient migration path for all PLC5 systems.
Now is the time to plan your migration
before the PLC5 is discontinued in June 2017. Quite often the migration of any system is a great way of tidying up loose ends and implementing system changes that plant managers have been putting off for whatever reason. As time goes on things like programs, drawings and manuals tend to get misplaced or lost and system changes don’t always get documented leaving drawings incomplete and inaccurate. The lack of accurate documentation or services makes it very hard to manage any system.
You can take advantage of the migration process by getting those program alterations and system improvements completed at the same time. That way, by the end of the migration process, you will have a fresh, up-to-date system with complete and accurate documentation. |

Easy PLC5 Migration

Step 1 - On-Site Assessment
Our staff will attend site to gain a better understanding of your requirements. We will evaluate your existing plant to identify what products and services are going to give you the easiest migration with minimal disruption.
Step 2 - Migration Plan Development
After our site assessment, we will have all the information needed to develop a tailored migration solution that best fits your requirements. We will present you with all your available options and discuss the differences between each one.
Step 3 - Engineering and Program Conversion
Our engineering staff will convert your existing programs into the new Logix platform using specially developed migration software. Once your existing PLC and HMI programs have been converted, we will review the code and then download it into your new ControlLogix processor or PanelView for thorough workshop testing.
Step 4 - On-Site System Upgrade
Once the engineering and software conversion has been completed and tested, we will start your site upgrade. The Automated Electrics team will remove the old PLC5 system and the new ControlLogix system will be installed. We will complete our pre-operational checklists and Inspection & Test Plans (ITP’s) to ensure everything is installed and operating correctly.
Step 5 - Plant Start-Up
After the on-site system upgrade is finalised, the plant will then be ready for an operational test performed by the customer and assisted by our engineers. Once the operation has been validated, all the necessary documentation and software files will be finalised for customer acceptance.
