Mitsubishi Electric enhanced support for legacy products
At Mitsubishi Electric, legacy support is not forgotten
Mitsubishi Electric is constantly researching and applying the latest technologies to its range of Automation products. Existing products are improved and new products and range extensions are developed. These enhancements bring greater performance, improved efficiency, increased operational life and new functions to simplify complex tasks.
Mitsubishi recognises the importance of backward compatibility when it makes these changes and ensures there is always an upgrade path. Simple transition from any of the previous generation hardware products into the latest generation can be achieved with only minor alterations needed. Backward compatibility is a fundamental design principle.
Mitsubishi’s automation systems products have an exceptionally long service life which means that users may have two or three generations of products operating in their plant at the same time. To ensure the most appropriate upgrade path, they have developed as series of brochures to help users move from one generation of product to the next.
These brochures are available online from the System Service section of their UK website, or by using the following links:
Modular PLC Upgrade from A Series
E Series & MAC HMI’s Human Machine Interfaces HMIVariable Speed Drives
Inverter drives F2 & K, Z series, A100/A200 & A/F500
