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 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.
Before replacing an analogue module
With analogue I/O, the difficult part of a migration is often hidden in the configuration: signal type, range, scaling, resolution, isolation and any filtering used by the application.
We would capture both the hardware settings and the PLC scaling logic before choosing a replacement. That gives the commissioning engineer known reference values and avoids trying to recreate process calibration from a failed module.
