[labnetwork] Oxford Black PLC Failure

[Golan Tanami]

Hi,

About two months ago, our 18-years old oxford’s ICP-RIE has stopped working due to PLC malfunction. Estimated machine shut down time was 6 months.
With no other choice, we turned into google. You need to know the exact model you have and browse it directly it in google search engine.

The model is printed just above the barcode:

It took us several hours to place an order for two units from:

https://www.classicautomation.com/Part/7cp476-0209

We have received them and replaced it successfully. The machine is working. The communication with them is very good, fast shipping. They also offer 2 years warranty. They also have a repair service.

The other alternative was to upgrade the PLC coupled with software update, which is very expensive and the lead time is several months.

I wish you luck!


Golan.

Hello Everyone,



Our old Oxford Plasmalab System 100 (ICP RIE) had a failure with its PLC, and it’s the older black style.  Does anyone know of a company that works on these older systems and possibly retrofits them? I haven’t been very successful with Oxford, it seems that this system is too old for them to consider taking on.



Thanks,
