Siemens discontinues PROFIBUS repeaters – Indu-Sol offers an alternative with a future guarantee

Effective October 1, 2024, Siemens has officially announced that it will cease production and active sales of its standard and diagnostic PROFIBUS repeaters, as well as the associated termination resistors. These components will no longer be available as new products starting October 1, 2026. Direct replacements will not be offered.

What does this mean for the market?

The phase-out (PM400 and PM410) has a major impact on installers, maintenance teams, and industrial end users who rely on reliable PROFIBUS communication. Fortunately, this development also offers opportunities.

As an exclusive supplier of Indu-Sol In the Benelux, Prokorment helps companies transition to the future. Indu-Sol has completely revised its line of repeaters, aiming to provide a reliable and sustainable solution for existing and new PROFIBUS installations, with guaranteed availability until at least 2035.
