Hey All - I was at Fanuc last week for a training class, and one of the other attendees told me AB was going to start to phase out the MicroLogix 1400. Anyone else hear this rumor? I asked my AB rep, but he isn't getting back to me.
The only reason I ask is because I just picked up one of their demo units as a trainer, and because we were planning on using them for some upcoming projects (which probably won't change) but I think we'll want to start heading another direction if they're getting phased out.
As an aside: anyone ever use the "PLC eUniversity" courses to get people trained? I asked our AB rep for a 1400 because I was thinking about using that curriculum, but would really rather not make an introduction to PLC training based on soon to be obsolete technology.
I've got enough PLC-5 crap kicking around if I wanted to do that....
Thanks all!
