S7-300, S7-400 and S7-1500 will be sold in parallel in the coming years.The S7-300/400 systems will not be phased out before the year 2020. Thereafter the components of both systems will be available for another 10 years on a spare part basis. While it does not say that 300's or 400's will receive their phase out announcement in 2020, I personally do at least expect this to be the case for 300's (their time is up as far as I'm concerned and 1500's can do everything they ever could and more). Only time will tell and Process Industry related 400's (e.g. PCS7, F/H 400 systems) are still a special beast in all of this and fight the phase out rumors with "Long-term security of investment in process automation" press releases.

As stated, that is because they offer fault-tolerant and Safety applications that are still not available with other families of CPUs and softwares in the Siemens world. https://w3.siemens.com/mcms/programmable-logic-controller/en/advanced-controller/s7-400/Pages/Default.aspx There is no such announcement on the S7-300 page from the same website, quite the contrary... https://w3.siemens.com/mcms/programmable-logic-controller/en/advanced-controller/s7-300/Pages/Default.aspx Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier Attachment S7-400 CPUs availability 2030.png (1103 Downloads)

Hello, Please check this link to understand the different life cycle milestobnes of any Siemens product. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/view/91688124 Product Delivery Release (P.M 300) From this date on the product is available for delivery for up to 12 years, i.e. available for normal ordering. This is also the active selling phase. Announcement of Product Phaseout (P.M 400) This milestone is the beginning of the 10-year spare part commitment period. The product is still available as a new part, but the active selling phase has ended. ProductCancellation(end of production) (P.M 410) This milestone is the beginning of the spare part phase. With some exceptions the product is only available on spare part basis. Product Discontinuation (P.M 490) This milestone is the end of our 10-year spare part commitment period. The product is no longer available from us and the support is discontinued. This is also the end of the PLM of the SIMATIC HMI accessories for this product, which then cease to be available. And for any product, you can know exactly its current life cycle status as described before in previous posts.
