    Announcement: Update on Standard Lead Times (SLT)
    Dear valued partner,
    we are contacting you today to update you on the planned adjustment to our indicative
    Standard Lead Times (SLT).
    Our efforts and investments in production expansion have resulted in an increase of
    our overall global delivery volume, supported by a positive shift in the supply situation
    for the component market.
    Accordingly, we expect a reduction in our current SLT in the third quarter 2023, orders
    issued from August 2023 onwards of approximately 26 weeks. We are also reviewing
    orders currently indicated with 52 weeks SLT for a potential adjustment for an earlier
    delivery date – your B&R Sales contact will be in touch with further information if this
    is a viable option for any of your existing open orders.
    While we anticipate announcing final details in August, it’s important for us to retain a
    transparent line of communication with you as a valued partner. Equally, we also want
    to take the opportunity to thank you for your patience and continued trust.
    We hope that this adjustment of the SLT and the order landscape is welcome news,
    indicating a critical step towards increased stability in planned delivery dates.
    Please rest assured that our teams will continue their efforts and remain at your
    disposal.

    Introduction
    An issue related to the brake monitoring function has been discovered inside our firmware. This issue
    impacts only ACOPOSmotor Compact using motion firmware starting from V5.15 up to V5.22.
    Error description
    During machine run, the ACOPOSmotor Compact is continuously monitoring the brake to evaluate its wear. It
    has been discovered that starting from V5.15 up to V5.22 the error counter for break wear monitoring was
    mistakenly set when the encoder counting direction was set to ncINVERS.
    This issue does not impact any safety related functions (STO).
    The correction is now available inside firmware V5.22.1.
    Consequences & impacts
    As immediate action, we will not autorise anymore the usage of firmware versions below than V5.22.1 with
    ACOPOSmotor Compact.
    Older FW versions will be blocked by DCD entry on ACOPOSmotor Compact delivered from now to any
    customers. New ACOPOSmotor Compact will not work anymore with the old firmware but even existing
    ACOPOSmotor Compact application will need to be updated to at least version V5.22.1.

    Roadmap update Power Panel C70
    On 2023-04-20 we provided a quick roadmap update in the product room for Power Panel C70. There we
    basically informed about a better availability of discontinued components and the possibility to postpone the
    discontinuation for now.
    We definitely were able to purchase additional quantities of discontinued components. Therefore, we will also
    be able to prolong the Power Panel C70 lifetime with additional two years and a discontinuation is planned
    earliest 2025.
    Currently there is no successor product available. As far as we have details about that we will inform again,
    latest in Q2/2024.
    Please keep in mind, that even a prolongation of the Power Panel C70 lifetime is possible, we do not offer
    Power Panel C70 in the new AS/AR 6 anymore

    Discontinuation
    The following Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate are discontinued due to Microsoft's licensing model.
    Therefore, the lifecycle date (Last Time Buy and Last Shipment) below is triggered by Microsoft, without any
    prolongation options.
    For the mentioned Windows products we don't have 100% compatible successor products. A possible
    solution could be Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019/2021 LTSC for currently available products (except
    Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB only for APC/PPC2100).
