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 input module

For an input module we would record the field voltage, sink/source arrangement, commons, channel allocation and PLC addresses before considering an alternative.

Modern I/O can accept the same nominal signals but use different terminal layouts, isolation groups or addressing, which means a small module change can create wiring and software work. Photographing the terminations and exporting the I/O configuration now can save a lot of diagnosis during a breakdown.

Know where every unit is before one fails.

A Capture audit finds every 1762-IQ16 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
