C.3 Upgrading an RS-485-Based 560/560T/565/565P System
To upgrade an existing RS-485 based 560, 560T, 565, or 565P system,
replace the existing programmable controller, including its chassis, power
supply and all installed boards, either with a Series 505 base, power supply,
and CPU (545–1104, –1106, 555–1103, –1104, –1105, –1106), or else with a
VMEbus base, power supply, and one or more 575 CPUs (with 575–2126
annex card). The upgrade is shown graphically in Figure C-2.
NOTE: A 545/555/575 cannot directly replace a hot backup (HBU)
configuration.
1. If the Series 500 remote I/O installation consists of more than one
twin-axial (RS-485) remote I/O channel, combine these channels into a
single remote I/O channel. Refer to Chapter 6 for information about
installation of a twin axial remote I/O trunk line.
2. Renumber your bases so that no two bases have the same number and
so that base number 0 is not used.
3. Modify the controller’s I/O configuration to reflect the channel number
and base number changes.
4. Connect the I/O trunk line to the 545/555/575 remote I/O connector.
Update time for a special function module is significantly faster when you
install the module in the local base, versus a remote base. If you are
upgrading to a 545/555 system, you can improve SF module performance
and scan performance by replacing the Series 500 SF modules with Series
505 SF modules and installing them in the 545/555 local base.
If all SF modules cannot be installed in the local base, consider placing
low-activity SF modules, such as the ASCII, BASIC, or DCP modules, in a
remote base. Place high-activity modules, such as the NIM or Peerlink, in
the local base.
