-
Less Risk of Downtime
"Justifying the risk and expense of control system upgrades can be a challenge. However, the truth is that legacy systems operate in isolation, and outdated equipment is costly to run. Once you understand the threat of obsolescence, validating upgrades is easier."
Critical Upgrades You Should Plan
PLC:
- PLC-5 processors and I/O (1785 and 1771)
- After more than 30 years of life, the Allen-Bradley® PLC-5® control platform from Rockwell Automation was discontinued in 2017 and is no longer available for sale.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
- Rockwell has officially classified all 4, 40, and 40P PowerFlex drives as end-of-life as of June 30, 2025. This means these drives will no longer be serviced or sold after the listed date.
