ECS stage: Cancellation.

Is the Mitsubishi Electric E1012 discontinued?

On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the E1012 has been cancelled: no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.

Source: ECS lifecycle assessment, based on ECS's internal lifecycle data in Command Centre. Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.

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.

How ECS defines Cancellation · all four lifecycle stages

Before replacing an HMI

With an HMI, the editable application is at least as important as the screen itself. We would secure the source project, record the engineering-software version, PLC communications, recipes or retained data, and measure the panel cut-out.

Conversion utilities can speed up a migration, but older drivers, scripts, alarms and fonts do not always transfer cleanly. A spare display only protects production if the correct application can be restored to it.

Common questions about the E1012

Is the Mitsubishi Electric E1012 discontinued?

On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the E1012 has been cancelled: no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.

Can I still buy a E1012?

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 E1012?

It is programmed with E-Designer. 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 E1012 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
