Multiple devices can be recorded on the same form.

- - RMA number

Good to know:
The forms can be filled in with acrobat reader, if you want to store them you need either a full version of acrobat (pretty expensive) or a free/shareware alternative like foxitreader.
Error description:
Please do not forget to provide an error description, that allows to understand why the module is returned. A description like "module defective" is not enough, we need to know what did not fulfill your expectations from a technical point of view.
Products that are no longer repaired:
The PLC technology is known for long product live cycles, and we ensure a repair service for 5 year after the phase out of a product. After 30 years in the PLC business, we have got modules that are not longer repaired. Before returning an old product, please consult the list provided here. If your product is on the list, no repair service is available anymore, but we can in some cases provide replacement module in limited quantities. Please contact your local sales company to check the availability of such a replacement module.
