Additional Information

It’s time to step forward to newer technology. The SLC™ 500 control system migration is part of the proactive modernization plan we have for you. As our SLC™ 5/01, 5/02 and 5/03 8K series controllers are discontinued and no longer available for sale, to support your transition, we recommend that you migrate to our CompactLogix 5380 control platform.
