I was wondering if the DL-105 is slated to be discontinued. We have several in operation throughout our plant. When they need to be replaced due to CPU failure I noticed a new replacement is sometimes not available. Should I be looking to replace with a modern replacement or can I expect them to be around awhile?

    18-pt Do-More starts at $250. Just sayin.

    Which unit are you not able to purchase? Model number? If its the relay output version of the 105, I believe they have 7 amp relay outputs...

    We mostly use F1-130DD. The terminal blocks conveniently plug into the base for quick replacement. I do see this listed in stock right now but it has been on back order in the past. Just hoping it will be around for a while. I realize the Do More has an more powerful processor but the 105 suits us just fine. Any thoughts on this?

    Nothing wrong with a DL105. Still have one controlling the water system in my home. Have a BRX system on my desk that was selected to replace it, but it's hard to get motivated to replace what works fine.

    BRX is positioned well for migration from DL, but I don't think there are any immediate EOL plans. That said, it's always good to stay ahead of obsolescence...that way you get to choose when the work gets done.
