IQAN-MD5 - release of 5" and 8"
We have now released the first two variants in the IQAN-MD5 family, the 5" and the 8" variants.
You'll need IQANdesign 7.02 to use these, which also is available.
Product information are available on parker.com.
Answer
Is the long term plan to eventually replace the MD4 with the MD5?
The main reason I ask is that the MD5 seems to have slightly less capabilities than the MD4 (most specifically, 3 CAN networks instead of 4), and I would like to plan our platform accordingly moving forward.
Thanks
The IQAN-MD4 platform will continue to be supported alongside the newly introduced IQAN-MD5 platform. Our standard End-Of-Life (EOL) process for products involves a notification given three years prior to the Last Time Buy (LTB) opportunity, followed by a period that allows for last-time purchases, with the last delivery occurring approximately two years after the LTB date.
In the long term the IQAN-MD5 platform will live longer and is a better choice for you when planning your platform moving forward.
