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.
Before replacing an industrial PC
With an industrial PC, hardware compatibility is often less restrictive than the software it hosts. We would capture the operating system, licences, application versions, network settings, storage image and any serial or specialist interfaces before selecting new hardware.
A modern IPC can be faster and electrically suitable but still fail to run the legacy application or drivers. A tested disk image or application recovery route is therefore a core part of the obsolescence plan.
