Reference for shutdown replacement and upgrade path

Although the current document does not list discontinued models, according to industry practices, the following replacement strategies are available for reference:

Original CompactLogix 5370 L3 (such as 1769-L33ER) → 5380 corresponding model (such as 5069-L330ERM). Note that 5370 uses 1769 I/O, while 5380 uses Compact 5000 I/O, so I/O modules need to be replaced simultaneously. But the 5380 supports remote I/O by reserving a portion of 1769 I/O through EtherNet/IP.

Original GuardLogix 5370 (such as 1769-L33ERMS) → 5380 SIL2 or SIL3 corresponding model. The security program needs to be revalidated.

Replacing the original ControlLogix 5560/5570 with CompactLogix 5480 can reduce costs, but attention should be paid to whether the I/O capacity and number of motion axes meet the requirements.

Summary of replacement steps:

Export the original project (. L5K or ACD）。

Create a new project and select the target 5380/5480 controller.

Import logic and remap I/O addresses (due to different I/O buses).

Download and test.
