Is MicroLogix 1500 obsolete?

Our Bulletin 1764 MicroLogix™ 1500 Programmable Logic Controller Systems are discontinued and no longer available for sale. Customers are encouraged to migrate to the MicroLogix 1400 PLC Systems or the CompactLogix™ 5370 L1 and L2 Controllers.

What software does MicroLogix 1500 use?

RSLogix 500™
Finally, as with all MicroLogix controllers, the MicroLogix 1500 is programmed using the RSLogix 500™ programming environment. The instruction set is compatible with all MicroLogix as well as SLC controllers.

Is MicroLogix 1400 obsolete?

While MicroLogix 1500 controller has been a valuable part of our portfolio for the past 16 years, this product will no longer be available for sale after June 2017. Now is time to migrate to newer controllers. We recommend migration to either MicroLogix 1400 or CompactLogix controller.

What is MicroLogix vs CompactLogix?

The MicroLogix 1500 utilizes the RSLogix 500 Programming software which is IEC-61131 compliant. The CompactLogix 5380 supports Logix Designer under the Studio 5000 software package. Of the Two (2) programming software, Logix designer provides more programming flexibility than RSLogix 500.

What is an RSLogix 5000?

RSLogix 5000 is the programming software for the CompactLogix controller type from Allen-Bradley. RSLogix 5000 Lite Edition allows programming using a ladder diagram, function block diagram, sequential function chart and structured text.

Is MicroLogix 1100 obsolete?

No, the MicroLogix 1100 PLC is not obsolete. Based on the Rockwell Compatibility Centre, the controller is currently labeled as “active mature”. In other words, it will not be developed any further, but it is considered stable for industrial automation use.

Is RSLogix 500 still available?

The SLC™ 500 control system migration is part of the proactive modernization plan we have for you. As our SLC™ 5/01, 5/02 and 5/03 8K series controllers are discontinued and no longer available for sale, to support your transition, we recommend that you migrate to our CompactLogix 5380 control platform.

What is RSLogix?

The RSLogix 500 software is a tool to design and implement ladder programs for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500™ and MicroLogix™ family of processors, such as the Programmable Logic Controller (MicroLogix), Model 46964. This software comes with RSLinx™ which provides connectivity between the PLC and the PC-type computer.

What is the difference between ControlLogix and CompactLogix?

The ControlLogix and CompactLogix are Allen-Bradley’s most popular lines of Automation controllers. The ControlLogix is designed for larger, more demanding systems, requiring higher I/O counts. The CompactLogix, with its smaller, more affordable frame, is better suited to smaller applications.

When did ControlLogix come out?

The ControlLogix was the original Logix platform, and was first released back in 1999.

Does the MicroLogix 1500 have a LRP processor serial port?

But unlike the “respond only” port that would later be found on “R” models of the MicroLogix 1200, the MicroLogix 1500 ‘s LRP processor serial port was a fully functional. The last communications addition came in 2003 when Rockwell released series C of the MicroLogix 1500.

What is the MicroLogix 1500 DAT?

The 1500 was also unique in that is supported a plug-in data access tool, or DAT. This small device was made up of 8 LED digits, 6 function keys, and one up down rocker button. Adding it to a MicroLogix 1500 processor allowed for quick and easy editing of the processors data table in a similar fashion as the SLC-100’s TCAT and SLC-500 ‘s DTAM did.

Are the 1764 MicroLogix™ 1500 programmable logic controller systems still available?

Is the MicroLogix 1500 Mini-DIN Comm 0 port the same form factor?

This Mini-Din COMM 0 port was the same form factor as the serial port as found MicroLogix 1000. The MicroLogix 1500 I/O base communications port initially supported DF1 Full Duplex, DF1 Half Duplex Slave, and DH-485.
