Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 & S5 End-of-Life / Migration Reference

Series-level lifecycle status — in Siemens' own PM milestone vocabulary (PM400 phase-out announcement, PM410 type discontinuation, PM490 product cancellation, PM500 end of lifecycle) — published milestone dates, and the OEM's recommended migration path for legacy Siemens automation: SIMATIC S5, S7-200, S7-300, ET 200M/S, MASTERDRIVES, MICROMASTER, legacy SIMATIC Panels, and legacy engineering software (STEP 5, STEP 7 V5.x, WinCC flexible, ProTool).

Siemens publishes lifecycle milestones per family and per article number, and the S7-300 / ET 200M phase-out ladder runs years into the future (PM490 in 2033, PM500 in 2035). Knowing where a family sits on that ladder — spare-parts-only, cancelled, or fully out of lifecycle — is what maintenance and modernization planning for the installed S5/S7 base depends on.

Verification standard: official Siemens sources first (Siemens product and support pages, TIA Portal documentation, Siemens Industry Mall, Siemens news, migration guides and brochures). Milestone dates are reproduced exactly as published and left blank where Siemens published none — no dates, part numbers, or successors are inferred. Records that rest on a distributor/secondary source because Siemens' own pages do not publish the fact in a readable form are tagged [distributor-sourced] and are lower-confidence.

Facts compiled from public OEM lifecycle sources; not affiliated with or endorsed by Siemens. Trademarks belong to their owners. This is a migration-planning reference, not engineering sign-off. Siemens issues lifecycle milestones per article number, so family-level records must not be read as per-article dates — verify production-critical selections against Siemens' Product Lifecycle Management data for the exact order number before acting.
