The most popular 2 SoftPLC controller models that can replace an Allen-Bradley PLC CPU are NeoPAC SoftPLC's and Smart SoftPLC's.Ī NeoPAC SoftPLC can be factory equipped with (1) A-B interface, which can be for RIO (Remote I/O), either Master (controller) or Slave (adapter), or DH+ (Data Highway Plus). Note: Detailed conversion information for each A-B model can be found in the specific model's tab. You can even combine multiple A-B PLC's into a single SoftPLC! Contact us to discuss your upgrade application details. Reduce the ongoing cost of maintaining obsolete equipment, connect to modern networks, add new functionality or hardware, and more. In some cases, based on the age and configuration of the A-B equipment, it may be more cost effective to convert the logic and documentation but SoftPLC CPU models are available to handle even the largest applications with multiple RIO and communication networks. We offer migration kits starting at only $1195 USD, that include a SoftPLC with a built-in A-B RIO interface, application conversion services and more. With SoftPLC's open architecture PACs, you have a lot of options on future product choices and virtually unlimited capacity! Over time, you can then retrofit other parts of the system (eg: drives, I/O, HMI) as it makes sense to do so. In most cases, as much of the original I/O racks/modules, field wiring, communication networks, and HMI/SCADA as you want can be left intact. If you have a control system using an Allen-Bradley PLC you can easily migrate to a SoftPLC based system - with minimal re-engineering or disruption to your business.
Here's a short video that describes our low-stress, low-cost A-B CPU upgrades: We have converted hundreds ofĪ-B PLC systems - providing customers with a superior controller CPU, while allowing them to retain their original controls investment in I/O and engineering. Many years of experience with A-B PLC products.
SoftPLC has on staff engineers that previously worked for Allen-Bradley, and others that have we offer "blue-hose" RIO/DH+ gateways to help. If you want to keep your A-B PLC for now, but upgrade connected equipment such as drives, HMI's, robots, scales, etc. This page describes our A-B PLC CPU upgrade options. provides smooth, inexpensive migration and upgrade paths for users of Allen-Bradley PLC's - in most cases superior to paths that Rockwell Automation provides! Costs increase due to proprietaryĬommunication network limitations, having to work around memory limits, and other factors such as programming/maintenance software not being able to run on new PC's. Continuing to use old or obsolete Allen-Bradley equipment is costly - not only due to spare parts costs, but also in reduced productivity.
