The author is currently working in captive power plant. PLC 2/30 is currently installed in boiler controls for starting, stopping and FSSS controls of boiler. It is also communicating with DCS mod 300. As DCS is being replaced by our instrumentation guys with latest DCS in market, we're also thinking in going for upgrading/replacement with new PLC.
My query is whether we can go for upgrading to PLC5 series on same 1771 platform so that existing backplanes can be used. This will reduce my cost also. If yes, what are min. changes to be done? I/O's digital--512. no remote I/Os are there. No additional software change is there.
