Siemens CM 1542-1, CP 1542-5: Product status change 

The Siemens modules CM 1542-1, CM 1542-5, and CP 1542-5 will reach milestone P.M 410, meaning they will only be available as spare parts. New units will no longer be orderable from that point on, which will impact the planning and maintenance of existing systems. Since Siemens ends its spare parts commitment after ten years with milestone P-M 490, support for these products will also be discontinued at that time. 

Siemens has introduced successor models for the discontinued modules, which have already been available in parallel for over a year. These new modules offer improved performance features and are available immediately. The article numbers of the successors modules are: 

• CM 1542-1: 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0
• CM 1542-5: 6GK7542-5DX10-0XE0
• CP 1542-5: 6GK7542-5FX10-0XE0

Purchasers should ensure that these new modules are considered in future projects to guarantee the smooth operation of systems.
