Migration notes
- The lifecycle page names no catalog number (Engineering Replacement). FLEX 5000 has EtherNet/IP adapters only, so the ControlNet network must first move to EtherNet/IP (CNET-RM001A p.18, 21–27), then 5094-AENTR or 5094-AEN2TR is used (5094-RM001A p.14).
- Most FLEX I/O is still Active Mature; the table lists only catalog numbers that are discontinued or scheduled for discontinuation. The path to FLEX 5000 follows 5094-RM001A.
Lifecycle status changes over time: confirm the current status on the Rockwell product page or in the Product Compatibility and Download Center before ordering.
