Posted 13 Jan 2005 What do you mean by upgrade? Do you require more I/O? More processing power? What model processor are you currently using? I hope you mean upgrade , and not replace, the 505's are a great PLC for process control. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Jan 2005 The SIMATIC 505 runs on an old TI platform using TISOFT. I have used many different PLC in the last 15 years and if possible I would replace with Siemens S7 hardware and software but my preference would be Allen Bradley products ($$). I just ordered a system from GE (versamax) to see how friendly it is for small applications. There's a lot of options!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
