Anybody know if this product is discontinued or still mfd?

Replacement is available from Proface: AGP3300-L1-D24

...which in turn can be replaced by: PFXGP4301TADW

Sometimes, you have to be careful to check the PLC driver... if the PLC is obsolete too, it might not be supported in newer models. Which PLC is it connected to?

Old GE 90-30

Should be fine.

GE also has a replacement, if you have Profocy ME for the 90-30, you might have the new HMI software too. Search this site or GE for details, while there look into updating the old 90-30 too.

RussB, Yes I believe we have Proficy ver 9. What do you recommend? ProFace or a GE product?

I know nothing about Proface and used to promote GE QuickPanel View, so thats what I would use.

All I can say is that I've always had successful conversions from TCP/GE QuickDesigner to Proface GP-Pro EX. I don't know what the conversion is like from QuickPanel to QuickPanel View or QuickPanel+.

Proface is the original equipment manufacturer of older TCP & GE QuickPanels (not sure about Quickpanel View and QuickPanel+ models).

GE's QuickPanel View is a mature product - Their recommended successor is QuickPanel+:

I would say go GE...
- if you like and are proficient with GE HMI software
- if you have GE HMIs & PLCs everywhere
- if you want to have a single vendor solution on this machine

I would say go Proface...
- if you have QuickPanels everywhere with PLCs from multiple vendors
- if you like and are proficient with GP-Pro EX
- if you don't want to be locked in to a single vendor for HMI and PLC

Actually this is a lone ranger. The only 90-30 we have hooked up to QuickPanel Jr. I just want to be able to take the offline project and be able to download it onto a new compatible, or direct replacement display without having to mess with any modification or configuration.
