Rockwell Automation recently announced that its Kinetix 6000 series integrated shaft module 2094-BC04-M03-S will be officially discontinued on December 31, 2023, and will no longer be sold. This decision may have an impact on industrial automation systems that use the module, as it has been widely used in applications that require precision control, such as robots, packaging machinery and CNC machine tools.

The 2094-BC04-M03-S module is recognized by the market for its compact design, high integration and stable performance. It offers converter power ratings up to 28 kW and inverter current ratings up to 28 amps to meet the needs of a wide range of industrial applications. However, as technology continued to advance and market demands changed, Rockwell Automation decided to phase out older products in order to introduce more advanced solutions.

As an alternative, Rockwell Automation recommends the use of model 2198-D057-ERS3 as an engineering substitute. This alternative is expected to provide similar functionality while potentially incorporating technical updates and performance improvements to meet customer needs for future automation technologies.

Customers currently using the 2094-BC04-M03-S module are advised to evaluate alternatives to their current systems as soon as possible and to contact Rockwell Automation’s authorized resellers for more information on product replacements, upgrades, and technical support.
