Is the Rockwell 1762-OW16 being discontinued?

On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the 1762-OW16 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 an output module

Output modules need a load-by-load check rather than a simple channel-count comparison. We would confirm whether each point is switching relays, solenoids or other loads, the current requirements, common arrangements and any interposing devices.

Those details determine whether a proposed replacement behaves electrically like the original and whether PLC logic or wiring must change. A documented output schedule is particularly valuable if the original module fails before a migration is planned.

Common questions about the 1762-OW16

Is the Rockwell 1762-OW16 being discontinued?

On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the 1762-OW16 is in phase-out: still orderable for now, but on its way out.

Can I still buy a 1762-OW16?

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 1762-OW16 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
