Key parameters to confirm
| Item | Information to provide |
|---|---|
| Identity | Manufacturer, complete order number, family, hardware/software revision and approximate production date. |
| Ratings | Voltage, current, power, pressure, temperature, range, speed or load capacity. |

| Options and accessories | Cables, plugs, mounts, feedback, brake, seal, display and licenses. |
| Compliance and destination | Hazardous-area, safety, marine, sanitary, efficiency and destination-country approvals. |
RFQ checklist
- Photograph the complete nameplate and all sides so markings can be enlarged.
- Enter every character, preserving spaces, slashes, hyphens and suffixes.
- Check technical data and drawings against an original manual, not only a search result title.
- State whether the need is identical replacement, compatible alternative or functional upgrade.
Common mistakes and risks
- Treating a family or housing number as a complete orderable model.
- Assuming compatibility from appearance or an unofficial web page.
- Overlooking wiring, program or mounting changes in an obsolete-model successor.
Frequently asked questions
What if the nameplate cannot be read?
Provide equipment brand, serial number, installation, dimensions, wiring and purchase history. These support identification, but final technical confirmation is still required.
Is the same model from another region identical?
Approvals, labels, firmware, accessories or sales-region configuration can differ. Compare the full order code and datasheet.
Can an obsolete model be replaced by the new family directly?
Obtain the manufacturer migration guidance and check mechanical, electrical, communication, software and safety impacts.
Next step
