Migration Solutions MicroLogix™ 1500 Controller to MicroLogix 1400 Controller or CompactLogix™ Controller Identify, Mitigate and Eliminate the Risks of Automation Obsolescence In today’s economy, it is necessary to have migration solutions that help you to achieve increased productivity and lessen your risk of maintaining your legacy equipment. You need to work with a supplier that has the product, service, and industry knowledge to partner with you on an upgrade strategy that will help you maximize your competitive advantage. Rockwell Automation and its partners will work with you to outline a plan that fits your application needs and long-term goals. We can help you migrate all at once or in phases, at the pace that is comfortable for you and fits your budget. With your goals in mind, Rockwell Automation has developed a migration strategy that will allow you to quickly and easily migrate from MicroLogix 1500 controller to newer controller platform. This approach will lower conversion time and engineering costs. Why Upgrade or Migrate While MicroLogix 1500 controller has been a valuable part of our portfolio for the past 16 years, this product will no longer be available for sale after June 2017. Now is time to migrate to newer controllers. We recommend migration to either MicroLogix 1400 or CompactLogix controller. MicroLogix 1400 is the newest controller in the MicroLogix controller family. It uses the same RSLogix™ 500 programming software as the MicroLogix 1500. If the MicroLogix 1500 does not use any 1769 Expansion I/O, or uses 1769 I/O modules that have an equivalent 1762 I/O module replacement, we recommend migration to MicroLogix 1400 controller. Migrate MicroLogix 1500 to CompactLogix 5370 L1 and L2 controllers if customer prefers to retain 1769 Expansion I/O. CompactLogix Controllers Features and Benefits • Increased flexibility with new open architecture • Reduced development time and costs through reuse of engineering practices • Maximized returns on existing assets through improved control and monitoring • Increased access to plant and production information • One programming environment for discrete, motion, process, drive, batch and safety control ACTIVE * ACTIVE MATURE * END OF LIFE * DISCONTINUED * *ACTIVE: Most current offering within a product category.

Migration Solutions
MicroLogix™ 1500 Controller to MicroLogix 1400 Controller or CompactLogix™ Controller
Identify, Mitigate and Eliminate the Risks of Automation Obsolescence In today’s economy, it is necessary to have migration solutions that help you to achieve increased productivity and lessen your risk of maintaining your legacy equipment. You need to work with a supplier that has the product, service, and industry knowledge to partner with you on an upgrade strategy that will help you maximize your competitive advantage.
Rockwell Automation and its partners will work with you to outline a plan that fits your application needs and long-term goals. We can help you migrate all at once or in phases, at the pace that is comfortable for you and fits your budget.
With your goals in mind, Rockwell Automation has developed a migration strategy that will allow you to quickly and easily migrate from MicroLogix 1500 controller to newer controller platform. This approach will lower conversion time and engineering costs.
Why Upgrade or Migrate While MicroLogix 1500 controller has been a valuable part of our portfolio for the past 16 years, this product will no longer be available for sale after June 2017. Now is time to migrate to newer controllers. We recommend migration to either MicroLogix 1400 or CompactLogix controller.
MicroLogix 1400 is the newest controller in the MicroLogix controller family. It uses the same RSLogix™ 500 programming software as the MicroLogix 1500. If the MicroLogix 1500 does not use any 1769 Expansion I/O, or uses 1769 I/O modules that have an equivalent 1762 I/O module replacement, we recommend migration to MicroLogix 1400 controller.
Migrate MicroLogix 1500 to CompactLogix 5370 L1 and L2 controllers if customer prefers to retain 1769 Expansion I/O.
CompactLogix Controllers Features and Benefits• Increased flexibility with new
open architecture
• Reduced development time and costs through reuse of engineering practices
• Maximized returns on existing assets through improved control and monitoring
• Increased access to plant and production information
• One programming environment for discrete, motion, process, drive, batch and safety control

STEP 1: Plan Your MigrationOnce you planned your overall migration approach, let the Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB) help plan the details. The MicroLogix migration wizard that is embedded in IAB will step you through the system configuration process, helping you to decide on the components you prefer to keep and reuse, and the components you prefer to replace.
STEP 2: Application Code ConversionSave time and engineering resources by using the conversion utility for RSLogix Project Migrator. This tool converts your existing RSLogix 500 program to Logix project. Using this tool makes the conversion more cost effective and provides greater flexibility regarding the final product. Download this tool, which is a product add-on for Studio 5000® environment, from the Product Compatibility and Download Center.
Supporting Your MigrationWith industry knowledge and worldwide service and support, Rockwell Automation will collaborate with you to help ensure a smooth transition from your MicroLogix 1500 controllers to either MicroLogix 1400 or CompactLogix controllers. Here’s how:
