What Phase Out means for you

The manufacturer is retiring the part, but you can still buy it. Nothing needs ripping out. Four things are worth doing while it is still easy: find every unit you run, make sure you know where each one is, decide whether to hold spares, and price the move to the ED2034.

How ECS defines Phase Out · all four lifecycle stages

Before replacing an output module

Output modules need a load-by-load check rather than a simple channel-count comparison. We would confirm whether each point is switching relays, solenoids or other loads, the current requirements, common arrangements and any interposing devices.

Those details determine whether a proposed replacement behaves electrically like the original and whether PLC logic or wiring must change. A documented output schedule is particularly valuable if the original module fails before a migration is planned.

What replaced the EL2024?

Beckhoff lists the ED2034 as the successor. Check compatibility with your machine before planning the change.

Know where every unit is before one fails.

A Capture audit finds every EL2024 on your site, photographs it where it sits and checks it against manufacturer lifecycle status, so you know your exposure and where your spares are before a failure stops a line.

  • Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
  • Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
  • No production downtime
