MicroLogix 1200 Migration & Replacement Solutions

The MicroLogix 1200 controller series (catalog numbers beginning with 1762-L) has been discontinued and customers are encouraged to migrate to newer Micro800 controller platforms for improved communications capability, modern software support, and long term hardware availability.

A commonly recommended modernization path is migration to the Micro850 2080-L50E controller platform. This upgrade moves applications from the legacy RSLogix 500 programming environment to the Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software platform while providing improved Ethernet networking, enhanced processing capability, and modern industrial communication support.

Recommended Hardware Migration Paths

24 Point MicroLogix 1200 Controllers

1762-L24 series controllers can typically be migrated to:

2080-L50E-24Qxx controller models

40 Point MicroLogix 1200 Controllers

1762-L40 series controllers can typically be migrated to:

2080-L50E-48Qxx controller models

The 48 point Micro850 platform provides expanded onboard I/O capacity while supporting modern industrial Ethernet networking and advanced communications functionality.

Expansion I/O Considerations

Existing Bulletin 1762 expansion I/O modules used with MicroLogix 1200 systems are not directly compatible with Micro800 controllers.

Migration projects requiring expansion I/O will generally require replacement using compatible 2085 expansion I/O modules designed for the Micro850 platform.

Benefits of Upgrading to Micro850 L50E

• Embedded dual Ethernet ports
• Integrated EtherNet/IP communications
• Modern Connected Components Workbench programming platform
• Improved processing performance and communications capability
• Expanded motion and high speed counter functionality
• Improved industrial network integration
• Enhanced long term supportability and hardware availability
• Flexible expansion using 2085 I/O modules

Software Migration Considerations

Migration from MicroLogix 1200 systems to Micro850 controllers may require:

• Conversion of RSLogix 500 projects to Connected Components Workbench projects
• Review of legacy memory mapped addressing structures
• Conversion from data tables to tag based variables
• Validation of message instructions, sequencer instructions, and communication routines
• Updating serial communication and Ethernet configuration settings
• Verification of HMI, SCADA, and third party device communications
• Applications using serial Modbus devices, ASCII communications, or legacy HMI systems may require additional communication module upgrades or software modifications during migration.

PLC GEAR can assist with MicroLogix 1200 migration planning, replacement controller selection, software compatibility guidance, communication upgrades, and sourcing of replacement automation hardware for industrial control systems.
