Rockwell 1747-AENTR

ECS rates the 1747-AENTR as phase-out: still orderable, but on its way out. This is the time to plan, not panic.

  1. Active RolloutSold and supported normally
  2. Phase OutRetirement announced, still orderable
  3. CancellationNormal sale ended, spares may remain
  4. Total DiscontinuationNo manufacturer supply or repair

ECS stage: Phase Out.

Is the Rockwell 1747-AENTR being discontinued?

On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the 1747-AENTR is in phase-out: still orderable for now, but on its way out.

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.

How ECS defines Phase Out · all four lifecycle stages

Before replacing a communications module

A communications module can stop a much larger part of the machine than its size suggests. We would document the protocol, node or IP addressing, rack configuration, connected devices and every PLC, HMI or SCADA dependency that references it.

If the migration changes network technology, the scope has to include the equipment at the other end of that link as well as the module itself. Capturing the topology now turns a future fault into a controlled network change rather than a discovery exercise.

Common questions about the 1747-AENTR

Is the Rockwell 1747-AENTR being discontinued?

On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the 1747-AENTR is in phase-out: still orderable for now, but on its way out.

Can I still buy a 1747-AENTR?

Yes, through normal channels during the phase-out period. It is the cheapest point to buy any spares you want to hold.

Know where every unit is before one fails.

A Capture audit finds every 1747-AENTR 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
