text: <s>[INST] PowerFlex 4M/4/40 Series Future Last year at Automation Fair I was told the PowerFlex 4M/4/40 series drives will continue to be active for a while and there are no plans to replace them. I now heard from one of our vendors that they will be going end of life in about a year but the Rockwell site still lists the lifecycle status as active. What is the official future for the 4M/4/40 drives? [/INST] Hi Kyle, Thank you for the interest on PowerFlex drives, there are 2 parts to your question. PF4M remains active product in our portfolio. PF4/40 IP20 drives are active mature while the PF4/40 Plate/Flange/NEMA 4X drives remain active. We are currently reviewing PF4/40 IP20 drives lifecycle status and will advise accordingly at a later date. In the meantime, we strongly encourage customers to modernize PF4/40 IP20 drives to PF520-Series to enjoy its rich features and premier integration to Logix environment. Best Rgds Andrew Tan \\n </s>
