Delta V release dates and support

Can someone point me in the right direction.  we are currently running DeltaV operate on v14. we have extended our support for our VRTX but I believe that will only last until sometime in 2024? I know we are going to have to plan for Capex to start replacing hardware. I am looking for timelines? I know when we go to v15 I will have to replace my SD controllers, and when we go to v16 I will have to replace my 1508s. I believe in all I have until 2028 to reach this goal, but a timeline would help planning Capex instead of trying to eat it all at one time.

  • The SDPlus controllers ( and MD, MDPlus) controllers will be removed from DeltaV software in v15. The SLS1508's will be supported in v16, allowing this hardware to run on supported v16.LTS up to the projected retirement of 2032. Emerson has not indicated at this time if the SLS1508 will be supported in versions beyond v16. v16LTS is expected in late 2025, early 2026 (Three years after v15 release which was December 2022). With a 6 year support window for LTS releases, that takes us to 2032.

    Hope that is helpful.
