ABB Totalflow Product Life Cycle Policy

ABB’s Totalflow Measurement and Control systems are designed for continuous evolution. It is ABB’s goal to protect our customers’ hardware and software investment (i.e. products and associated software) beyond the life-cycles of the products.

ABB will not "Remove from Active Sale" any product or "family" of products until equivalent replacement or upgrades to those products are available. Exceptions to this may occur if components or technologies needed are no longer available to ABB. Once a product has been removed from active sale it is in the “Classic” phase. In this phase, ABB will continue to repair or exchange hardware to maintain customer products. Products will continue to be supported by ABB for at least 7 years from the start of the Classic phase, although exceptions to this may occur if components or technologies needed are no longer available to ABB.

At least 6 months prior to any "Manufacturing End" declaration, ABB will announce a "Last Buy” opportunity (except in cases where there is a direct form, fit and function replacement). It is the intention of ABB Totalflow to provide support for as long as there are significant customer needs after the "Manufacturing End" through field service, repair and by making replacement spares (new or refurbished modules) available.

The following 6600 Legacy flow product electronic boards and components are moving to the limited phase of ABB’s lifecycle stage:

Repair is offered on a subset of these parts. ABB will continue to offer repairs and exchanges beyond the obsolete stage based on parts availability. ABB will publish a obsolete last time buy within 6 months of the obsolescence stage to allow customers a last time buy opportunity.
