Is the ABB BSD0400 discontinued?
The BSD0400 has been cancelled: no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.

What Cancellation means for you
You can no longer order it as a normal product, and nothing new should be designed around it. If machines depend on it, you want spare stock you can rely on and a migration plan. Both start with knowing how many you run and whether each has a backup.
Before replacing servo or motion hardware
Motion hardware is usually tied to the motor, feedback device, gearing, tuning, safety functions and controller-side motion instructions. We would identify those dependencies before assuming a newer unit can replace the existing one.
For a production-critical axis, planned migration gives time to retune and prove motion safely; doing that work during an unplanned stoppage is where obsolescence becomes expensive.

Common questions about the BSD0400
Is the ABB BSD0400 discontinued?
The BSD0400 has been cancelled: no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.
Can I still buy a BSD0400?
Not as a normal new product. Remaining distributor stock or designated spares may still be available. Buy any you need now.
How do I back up a BSD0400?
The exact software version and cable depend on the unit's firmware. ECS records both for every unit it captures, alongside a verified backup.
With a backup, a failed unit is hours. Without one, it is days.
A Capture audit finds every BSD0400 on your site, takes a backup of each one it can reach, and records the software version and cable needed to restore it. When a discontinued unit fails and a replacement turns up, the program is ready to load.
- Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
- Backups taken on the day, with software version and cable recorded
- Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
- No production downtime
