Yes. Often there is a commercial advantage in replacing a large volume of AC drives in a single coordinated project. It helps to plan well in advance in order to reduce planned operational downtime.
Typically 12-18 months before moving a product to the limited lifecycle status, Danfoss sends a letter to customers notifying them that a certain product will reach the end of its lifecycle and will no longer be produced. In that letter Danfoss will also provide information about the best alternative product for retrofit.
If a failure occurs, AC drives in the limited lifecycle will have reduced service options, which increases the risks of longer downtime and costs of failure. Therefore, Danfoss recommends DrivePro® Retrofit service when drives transition to limited or inactive lifecycle status.
Ultimately, it is the customer's decision to replace the AC drive still in service.
