Does anyone actually do this? I would imagine in larger installations where downtime is measures in megabucks per minute this might make sense, but anywhere that had that problem has probably already handled it rip and replace. What AB should have done was to make a module to replace the PLC5 controller that connects to a CLX PLC and leave all the other IO in place. That's the kind of temporary workaround I could make use of. It's not the IO that is the usually the problem, it's the forced obsolesce of the PLC.
