Hello Rajkiran; Just to add to Ayman's valuable information: the 10 years of guaranteed spare parts announced by Siemens starts one year after the product goes into phase-out mode. Add to that the years that the product is produced, and if you purchase new equipment you will easily reach your 15 year limit. Have a look at the following links, the first for an older S7-416-2DP, the second for a newer S7-416-3PN/DP; notice the timeline provide for the procurement of the CPUs. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/4069058 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/43411965 The older S7-416-2DP was discontinued in 2009, so you will officially have access to spare parts until 2019. The newer one has been sold since 2010, there is no date for phase-out yet, so you can calculate at least 4 years of production, plus one for the phase-out period, and 10 more years for the discontinuation phase. In any case, Siemens equipment has a long and recognized reputation of durability; spare parts and upgrades for the S5 family were made available for over 20 years, and they will still repair old S7 equipment if required. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
