We have 5 Honeywell S9000 PLCs in the plant. The PLCs are on the verge of obsolescence.
We want to replace these PLCs with a newer PLC, but Honeywell has decided not to adopt a migration path for the S9000s, thus leaving us in a lurch.
As such, it seems to us that we would need to buy new PLCs and re-program all of them from scratch. The S9000 PLCs have been primarily programmed using ladder logic.
Has anybody else faced this problem, especially with the S9000s? Is there a migration path from Honeywell 9000s to a newer type of PLC? Alternatively, there a conversion software out there which would take the old program and give us a program compatible with a newer PLC?
Any illumination would be of tremendous help.
Thanks.
