We have de-commissioned some equipment at our facility. I have removed 3 DL06 units (D0-06DR) from the equipment. These were originally installed more than 10 years ago. If I want to re-use them for other projects, will updating the firmware be all that is needed? Will these work as well as a new purchased unit? Thanks for the help.

You would need to write your own program for your application/process.

A firmware update would not be required. However it may be useful if there are any issues that a firmware update may correct.

You may intend for firmware to mean user programming.

Will these work as well as a new purchased unit?

Possibly. If there are no failed i/O or other issues with the hardware.

Kewaki,

Thank you for the input. I know I'll need a new user program. You helped clarify between required and useful. I remember having to update the firmware in one of these in the past before I could use i-boxes. The units have run flawlessly during their time in the equipment, so I am assuming no hardware issues. I guess what I am asking is, are there any new features other than i-boxes that would warrant a firmware upgrade. Again, thank you for your help.
