OBSOLESCeNCE UPGRADES
The Process
BCI has extensive experience with obsolescence upgrades across the automation industry — from replacing entire control systems or panels to upgrading specific outdated components like drives or PLCs. We help bring systems up to modern standards, whether it’s migrating from legacy PLC-5 or SLC 500 platforms to the latest ControlLogix or CompactLogix systems, or transitioning from other manufacturers’ platforms to Allen-Bradley solutions.
- SLC500 to CompactLogix Upgrades (Picture Shown)
- PLC5 to ControlLogix Upgrades - Software conversion, bench testing, installation and commissioning
- Manufacturer's Replacement - Conversion from a specific manufacturers' PLC (GE Fanuc) to an Allen-Bradley platform processor
- Drive Replacements - Replacement of an obsolete or damaged drive with a more current model or version
