Hello amfaromahnnn; An important family of Siemens Fault-tolerant (redundant) PLCs (the S7-400H CPUs) and PCS 7 (a Siemens DCS system) are based on the S7-400 hardware and software, and these developments are still ongoing today, and are expected to continue for many years. This presentation is from one of the Siemens official product information pages, it should correct the information you received about the expected life cycle of the S7-400 PLCs: https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/systems/industrial/plc/simatic-s7-400.html There are still new products marketed for the different models of S7-400: for example, the S7-410-5H was a completely new model of S7-400 developed for the PCS 7 environment, it was launched in 2017, with the latest version (v10) made available in 2019... This is not the sort of emphasis a company allows for an end-of-life product. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/75407031 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
