Discontinued HMI Replacement Checklist
A structured checklist for preparing to replace a discontinued or obsolete industrial operator interface.
A discontinued-HMI change affects more than the display. A documented checklist helps separate an OEM-named path from the installation-specific evidence needed to approve it.
Direct Answer
Never assume a manufacturer-named successor is a drop-in replacement. Project, protocol, electrical, cutout, software, safety, and commissioning checks remain required before proceeding.
Before disturbing the existing unit
- Capture the exact manufacturer order reference and revision.
- Extract and validate the project backup.
- Document all connected cables, power, and switch settings.
Evaluating the replacement
- Compare power supply requirements and grounding.
- Verify physical cutout dimensions.
- Verify how every required communication protocol and driver will be supported.
