Why is the P.M410 milestone so crucial?
On 1 October, the SIMATIC S7-300 and ET 200M will reach the P.M410 status. This means that from this point on, the components will no longer be available as new parts and will only be offered in limited quantities as spare parts. As seen in similar cases, Siemens will significantly increase the prices of spare parts. These prices increases are based on the additional efforts required for storage, production and logistics of discontinued products. For operators and maintenance teams, this will represent a considerable financial burden if they do not take timely precautions.
