2. Performance and reliability over drive lifetime
Drives are aging during the use and this aging might cause product to fail.
To maintain or even improve the performance and reliability of the drive, different maintenance actions are needed (Replacement, Retrofit, Upgrade, Maintenance)
Often product is used longer, than the product is manufactured (Active phase)
To quarantee the availability of the services after the Active-production phase, ABB has introduced 4 phase life cycle model (Active, Classic, Limited, Obsolete)

3. Drive life cycle management model
Sales and manufacturing phase
Complete life cycle services
Limited life cycle services
No services available
Product
Product is in active sales and manufacturing phase.
Serial production has ceased. Product is often still available for spare part or extension purposes.
Product is no longer available.
Services
Full range of life cycle services is available.
Product enhancements may be available through upgrade and retrofit solutions.
Limited range of life cycle services is available.
Spare parts availability is limited to available stock.
No life cycle services available.
Replacement
Migration of limited and obsolete products is usually supported.
Migration to the active product generation is highly recommended.
Migration to the active product generation is the only possibility.
This slide presents, what different life cycle phases really mean and how product is supported in different life cycle phases

4. Drive life cycle management model
Life cycle announcements
Sales and manufacturing phase
Complete life cycle services
Limited life cycle services
No services available
New product is released for sale
Volume production ceases
The period of complete life cycle services ceases
Product support ceases
Limited life cycle services
No life cycle services
This slides presents, how ABB maintains the product life cycle model
Life cycle change announcements are distributed half a year prior to the life cycle change
For larger life cycle changes, announcements might be distributed even earlier. (e.g. ACV700/Sami Star to limited)

5. Life cycle services for ABB low voltage drives
Complete life cycle services
Limited life cycle services
Service agreements
Installation and commissioning
Training
Spares and consumables
Maintenance
Repairs
Engineering and consulting
This slides illustrates, what life cycle services are available at different phases of life cycle.
In limited phase availability of any other service than end of life and replacement services, is not quaranteed.
In obsolete phase, there are no services available and this is why it is not illustrated in the slide.
Extensions, upgrades and retrofits
