Important IWS Workstation Obsolescence Announcement

 

 

 

As you know Nematron has been producing IWS PLC Workstations since the early 1990s.

We have tried very hard to keep these units available for as long as possible and we still repair many 20 year old units.  Unfortunately the Vacuum Florescent Displays (VFD) for the IWS-12X products has been suddenly discontinued and is forcing Nematron to immediately discontinue this model.

 

Effective immediately all IWS-120, IWS-123, IWS-127, and all variations of these units are no longer available.


Nematron will however strive to continue to repair these units for as long as possible.  There is not any guarantee of how long that we will be able to continue this service and it will greatly depend on the issue with the unit as to whether it can be repaired.  A very limited number of displays for repairs are available and when they are gone we can no longer repair the unit if it has a display issue.  

 

The IWS-110, IWS-113, and IWS-117 units can be used to replace these units if necessary.


The IWS 11X units are form fit compatible with the IWS-12X units.  The most noticeable difference is that the IWS-11X units have a slightly smaller LCD display rather than a VFD display, both are 4 line x 20 character displays.  Also the IWS-11X units do not support International ASCII characters as do the IWS-12X units.  Application programs written for the IWS-12X units will import to the IWS-11X units, with the exception of International ASCII character support. 

 

Alternatively if the PLC connected to the IWS Workstation is supported by the Powervision Workstations these units can also be used to replace the IWS workstations.  However the IWS application program cannot be uploaded to the PowerVision units and will need to be generated using the EasyBuilder Pro software. 

 

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you and/or your customers, but we have done everything we can to continue the production of these units for as long as possible. If you and/or your customers are interested in replacing an IWS Workstation with a newer unit please contact sales@nemavision-ipc.com and we will be available to discuss your options.
