What problems when replace old Compact 800 hardware (white colour) by new one (grey colour)?
Deal all,
I have a Compact 800 system. Now I want replace some hardware. But now ABB have new hardware for Compact 800 System(grey colour). I want to know what problems when I replace old Compact 800 hardware (White colour) by new one (Grey colour)?
If I have new 800xA hardware( white colour), Can I replace old Compact 800 hardware by it?

If not now, there will be issues in the future. 800xA HW (white one) will be covered by licences (all - communication modules, I/O modules, etc.) - there are some security features behind this solution (for details contact your support channel). If you order "grey" HW, there will be necessary to order those licenses separately later (higher effort, complications regarding clarification, etc... - bureaucracy). So I recommend to follow ABB procedures regarding sales channels - "white" HW for 800xA and "grey" for other applications...

Hi,
It should not be problem. Only the color of the new modules are different otherwise they are still the same. In one of my project I have used a mix of white and grey modules and it is working fine.

Greetings,
I dont know which version of Compact HMI you are using,but maybe you can face some firmware problems when you try to download old program to newer CPU because of Compact Control Builder version.
