Replacement paths, side by side
The decisive attribute in this vertical is software and runtime compatibility, not electrical specs. Read the compatibility column before the price column.
| Route | What | Price band | Availability | Compatibility — the dealbreakers | Shortlist |

| Official successor |
Micro800 family Rockwell Automation |
€966 across 1 EU distributor | Listed at Omnical, no stock shown; lead time on request |
Different programming software (Connected Components Workbench, not RSLogix 500). The thread puts the rewrite at 2-4 weeks. Why this matters ⌄ |

| Compatible third party |
Productivity / CLICK series AutomationDirect |
$153 list for a CLICK C0-01DD1-D CPU (8 in / 6 out) | 45 in stock at AutomationDirect, ships same day |
Full cross-vendor move - new controller, new HMI, complete rewrite. Same 2-4 week order of effort as the Micro800 route, which is why the thread treats them as comparable. Why this matters ⌄ |

Identical - the RSLogix 500 program runs unchanged, no rewrite. |
Where the research did not establish a figure, this page says so rather than estimating one. A number you cannot defend is worse than no number.
Migration effort
2-4 weeks of rewrite is the number the community uses for this retrofit, either way you go.
