Upgrade 800xA for Master 4.1 Rev 11b to 6.0 and Control Builder

Good Morning , Please Could you support to us in some questions about

- Upgrade 800xA from version 4.1 Rollup 11b to Version 6.0

- Control Builder from Aplication Builder 2.6/0 1999 , FucntionChartBuilder 4.6/0 1999, OnlineBuilder 2.6/0 1999, Windows NT 4.00.1381 to Control Builder 1.4/1

- and it is possible the Master Software from AC450 1.1/2 , QC02-*7 ( please see the attachment) to AC450 2.3 QC7-04, from AC410 1.3/5 QC01-*9 and AC 410 1.4/1 QC01-*10 to AC410 1.5 QC01- 1, 2,3 or 4 , please see the attachment

Regarding to Master Software upgrade , those controllers were installed around 1998 year and since that time customer has not done any upgrade to the Master Software and we have seen the SR documents SR007 , SR006 and there are some issues fixed , but to do that we would require to change some hardware like PM510V16 to PM511 , DSBC173A to DSBC176 and the kit to connect to DSBC , also customer has installed nowaday TC560 , TC561 modem according to the info we should replace by TC560V2 , TC561V2 , we would have single PM511 ( no redundant ) , Can we keep the old TC 560, TC561 or do we have to use the new ones TC560v2 , TC561v2?

Also SC520 should be PR:T , we could see one of the card installed nowaday, and PR:N but reading another document we could see

PR: N 4911014 -RVW, -RVX, -RVY, -RVZ SC520 PROM 1.1/8 3.8/1 960520

for PR:T information is as follow according to the document STATUS REPORT SR5024/5 , see attachment

PR:T 4911014 -SGK , -SGL, -SGM, -SGN SC520 PROM 1.1/12 4.2/2 971119

please see the attachment

Is it possible only to replace the old eproms ( PR:N ) by PR:T eproms and the card could be used for AC450 2.3 ?

Finally , the customer would have to spend some money in hardware but according to information control builder is backward compatible to 2.3 for AC450 and 1.5 for AC410 , just in case if the customer has not enough budget , could we upgrade keeping the master software at the current version , nowadays they are using standard objects from AC400 Connect , it is a Cement Plant and standard process , or because the controller has many years installed and according to the information from SRs we can see thera are many issues fixed and it is suggested for the system and for customer.

of course it should go to ABB but our investigation can be useful for take decision

What do you think about that ?

Thanks for your support

Best Regards
