So, that begs the question: What functionalities may be lacking in your older equipment? To start, you can expect some difficulties locating spare parts (chargers, keypad…), as factory-new 90-30 parts are no longer being built. If you think about it, an old iPhone 4 wouldn't last long with today's demanding and high-tech-focused consumer base. Much like cellphones, technology is constantly evolving across all industries, giving the buyer more options and better performance. Originally released over 20 years ago, the obsolete Fanuc 90-30 PLC may no longer be able to keep up with your current requirements. As always, when replacing equipment the first question to ask is whether your production needs have evolved or increased. Although your 90-30 system may still be operating, eventually the time will come when maintenance is required. If the GE Fanuc 90-30 is your primary PLC / PAC, it may be time to consider the future of your control system.
