Comments
Although you can still buy software to maintain your S5 PLCs, these PLCs are now discontinued. The easiest migration forward is the Siemens S7 PLC, but it could also be upgraded to the controller of your choice. Be advised, that more than likely your HMI will also need migration or upgrading as well to communicate to your new PLC.
