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 RD62P2E.

Before replacing a high-speed counter module

High-speed counter applications are sensitive to encoder type, pulse rate, wiring mode, input voltage and the way counts are consumed by the PLC program.

A successor may offer equal or better headline performance while still requiring changes to terminals or logic. We would document the complete signal path and test the migration against the real machine speed before treating the replacement as proven.

Know where every unit is before one fails.

A Capture audit finds every QD62E 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
