While this thing was new while I was still in high school, it is still in active use in many industrial sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you overheat them, or do something terrible with the power, they will continue to run plants and facilities for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last PLC5&#8217;s were retired from Rockwell support in the early 2010&#8217;s with the PLC5\/80 being the last of the line. Not bad for a line of industrial controllers first released in the 1980&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programming software has updated periodically, mostly to keep it compatible with the latest operating systems. You can still run RSLogix 5 in windows 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This PLC is destined as a development machine for testing control and code for some of the facilities I look after that are still running PLC 5 controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>48KB for life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stateoftheark.ca\/Pages\/Joes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20201008_143054-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Program like it&#8217;s 1994<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stateoftheark.ca\/Pages\/Joes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/598d74b4319.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44\"\/><figcaption>AI 5 Programming Software<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stateoftheark.ca\/Pages\/Joes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/598d74b4321.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stateoftheark.ca\/Pages\/Joes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Logic-510x369-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47\"\/><figcaption>Program like its 2005!
