When working with industrial automation systems, it’s important to stay informed about the lifecycle status of components. This article provides guidance on how to check whether an OMRON product has been discontinued and what steps to take next.

Understanding Product Lifecycle Status

OMRON products typically move through several lifecycle stages, including:

• Active – Fully supported and in production
• Mature – Still available but may be approaching end-of-life
• Discontinued – No longer manufactured or supported

Identifying the lifecycle stage of your product helps you plan maintenance, upgrades and spare parts strategies effectively.

What to Do If a Product Is Discontinued

If you discover that a product has been discontinued, consider the following actions:
