Product Announcement

NETWORK 8000 Availability - UPDATE

Unfortunately the reign of a solid product line is coming to an end; NETWORK 8000. As indicated in the communication from September 2010 the MicroZone II and PEM controllers contain components no longer available, nor is there a replacement component. Based on current volumes Schneider Electric manufacturing will exhaust the last time buy component supply on December 31, 2011.

GCM 86120	MZ II	PEM 1

In addition, components for the Network Interface Module GCM-ETH-001 and GCM-ECH-001 can no longer be secured for manufacturing. These products have been exhausted and are no longer available to order.

Without these I/O controllers and the NIM controllers the NETWORK 8000 product line no longer is a viable system option. Therefore, all of the NETWORK 8000 system products will be discontinued as of December 31, 2011.

However, over the last 15 years Schneider Electric has offered the TAC I/A Series LON and BACnet controllers which include exceptional I/O controllers that perform the application requirements currently operated by NETWORK 8000. Plus, the I/A Series R2 and G3 systems provide backwards compatible communication drivers for GCM, LCM (R2 only), and ASD. This configuration provides a world class solution for both new and old systems.
