Important change: transition from S7-1200 G1 to G2
Siemens notice
Siemens has published an advance notice of the phase-out of the modules of the first generation SIMATIC S7-1200 with effect from 01.11.2026.
Planned lifecycle of the SIMATIC S7-1200 1st Generation:
- Official Product Phase-out Start: The SIMATIC S7-1200 (G1) family will officially be declared phased out on November 1, 2026.
- Availability as New Part: After this date, the SIMATIC S7-1200 (G1) will still be available for order as a new part for another year, until October 31, 2027.
- Long-term Spare Part Supply: To ensure support for your existing systems, the availability of SIMATIC S7-1200 (G1) modules as spare parts is planned for an additional 9 years after the end of new part availability.
The SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 series is the natural successor to the S7-1200 controller family, which was developed to meet the increasing demands of modern automation solutions. This series has some important advantages that were described by us in one of our previous articles here.
