While some controllers can last for decades, eventually everyone is faced with the need to upgrade and modernize their systems, especially when products are discontinued or have drastically increased prices. As equipment becomes obsolete, keeping your system up and running becomes increasingly difficult and expensive. DMC offers PLC upgrade and system conversion services for a number of legacy controllers, including Allen-Bradley PLC-5, TI505, and Siemens S5 PLCs. Our engineers have extensive cross-platform experience with the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix\/CompactLogix and Siemens S7 PLC series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"488\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25161334\/image-136-3.jpg\" alt=\"SIMATIC S5 PLC\" class=\"wp-image-2606\" style=\"width:310px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25161334\/image-136-3.jpg 488w, https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25161334\/image-136-3-229x300.jpg 229w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull wp-elements-03189e3dd57cd9242693f86e7fae7815 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9137e56c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-white-color has-custom-medium-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-d45390d30f09ca65c7ad9a255e861c95 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d3dcb501 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:20px;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:0\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-be282daf43261d15c6211fa657f90fcf\" id=\"h-ready-to-plan-your-next-project\"><strong>Ready to Plan Your Next Project?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-custom-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-614be39b0ff905c0a487d4d67280ffaf\">Contact us today to learn how DMC can<br>accelerate your development process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-ecd33c62 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dmcinfo.com\/contact\/\">Contact Us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DMC\u2019s Legacy PLC Upgrade and Conversion Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team starts by gaining a complete understanding of your current system through a full system assessment and specification phase, which allows us to avoid pitfalls and delays during the project by planning ahead.
