Taking Control of Your System Migration Journey

Upgrading your automation system doesn’t always require third-party contractors or extended downtime. With the right tools and guidance, your team can take the lead. NHP, in partnership with Rockwell Automation, offers a suite of intuitive tools to help you confidently plan and execute your migration from legacy SLC™ 500 controllers to modern CompactLogix™ 5380 systems—on your terms, at your pace.

Whether you’re looking to minimise disruption, reduce costs, or simply stay in control of your modernisation journey, these tools provide everything you need for a successful do-it-yourself migration.

Integrated Architecture® Builder (IAB)

A graphical, user-friendly tool that allows you to design your new CompactLogix 5380 system with ease. IAB automatically generates a detailed bill of materials (BOM) based on your existing SLC setup—saving time and removing guesswork from the planning stage.

Ideal for: System planners, engineers, and project managers who want to visualise their new architecture from day one.

RSLogix 5000® / Studio 5000® Project Migrator

Streamline the conversion of your SLC 500 application code with embedded tools that import your RSLogix 500® project files into RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 Logix Designer®. It’s a fast, efficient way to retain your programming logic while updating your platform.

Ideal for: Engineers seeking to reduce manual recoding effort and preserve logic accuracy during migration.

1492 I/O Wiring Conversion System

One of the biggest risks in a system migration is wiring errors. This tool allows you to retain all existing field wiring when switching from SLC I/O to Compact 5000 I/O—saving time, preventing mistakes, and maintaining plant safety.

Ideal for: Technicians and installers looking to minimise risk and downtime during hardware transitions.

Configuration Drawings for CompactLogix™ 5380

Accelerate system design with downloadable configuration drawings that outline scalable architecture options for your application. These resources help you visualise performance, capacity and layout—all tailored for CompactLogix 5380.

Ideal for: Engineers and designers building out new or expanded systems.

ProposalWorks™ Proposal Builder

Create RFQs, generate bills of materials and build full proposals from your desktop. With over 1,500 wizards and advanced search functionality, you can find the right components for your specific requirements—fast.

Ideal for: Procurement teams and project planners working on system upgrades and budget approvals.

SLC EtherNet/IP™ Communication Module (1747-AENTR)

This module enables communication between the CompactLogix 5380 controller and your existing remote I/O network. It’s a perfect fit for phased migration strategies, allowing for pre-deployment testing and a smooth switchover.

Ideal for: Sites requiring phased migration or backward compatibility during system transition.

Compact 5000™ I/O Serial Module (5069-SERIAL)

Facilitates communication between your controller and serial I/O devices, whether deployed locally or remotely via EtherNet/IP. This module increases flexibility across mixed I/O environments and supports legacy device integration.

Ideal for: Industrial environments with a combination of serial and Ethernet-based I/O.
