Functional replacement service
Obsolete or overpriced part? JWDrive engineers propose functional replacements with matched specs — PLC-5→CompactLogix, S5→S7-1500, legacy drives→current units.
When a part is discontinued, lead-time is months, or the OEM price is unreasonable, replacement — not scarcity — is the answer. JWDrive maps your original part number to functional equivalents with matched electrical specs, mounting and communication.
Typical replacements we deliver: PLC-5 / SLC 500 logic migrated to CompactLogix-class controllers, S5 tasks re-hosted on S7-1200/1500, legacy drives swapped for current PowerFlex/GA700-class units, discontinued sensors matched to current SICK/ifm/P+F equivalents.
1. You send the original part number & application
2. We verify function, ratings and interfaces
3. You get a replacement proposal with price & lead time
4. You choose: original sourcing, replacement, or migration path
