News — Micro800

Q: Do you believe the swapping of the Current SD card to the new PLC will transfer the program over?   A:  It depends on how it was setup when programmed/last accessed   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddb7rCPPMtI   If needed we know of a few local integrators that may be able to help if required.

The Most Cost effective CompactLogix System is the 1769-L16ER-BB1B   1769L16ERBB1B L1, 384KB, 6 I/O Expansion via 1734 POINT I/O, 4 Ethernet IP Nodes, 24VDC https://www.plcgear.com.au/products/allen-bradley-1769-compactlogix-l23x-and-l3x-controllers?variant=36765061070   Software Required to Program these is Studio 5000 (Can Purchase Directly from Rockwell) https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-gb/products/software/factorytalk/designsuite/studio-5000.html   See Ordering guide for Options https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/qr/9324-qr001_-en-p.pdf   Note There is also the Micro800 Series of PLCs that uses its own software (Connect Components Workshop) – These are more budget PLCs   And Older Models Like MicroLogix and SLC that Use RSLogix 500 Software but these are being phased out and soon to be obsolete

Products with a conformal coating (adds a layer of protection when exposed to harsh, corrosive Environments) have a ‘K’ suffix at the end of the catalogue number.   Tend to take longer to get if available, but electronically/functionally  exactly the same.

Yes, the CompactLogix Series uses the Studio 5000 software and unfortunately Rockwell doesn’t have Educational versions   Software is sold directly from Rockwell through their online portal (requires account setup)
