February 3, 2025— Parker’s Electronic Motion and Controls Division (EMC) has made the tough decision to discontinue the sale, manufacture, and support of Parker Industrial HMI product. These products are the Interact, InteractX, and InteractXpress lines of software; as well as all of their corresponding hardware & accessories.
A last time buy period ends on July 30, 2025, or when inventory has been depleted, whichever occurs first. The Parker website will reflect obsolescence by July 30, 2025.
Warranties for products purchased during this period will be one year. Parker will offer support for units inside of warranty. Post-sale support will not be available for units outside of warranty.
Please reach out to your regional Automation Technology Centers for solutions to your HMI needs.
If the replacement panel is the same part number as the original HMI panel, users can simply remove the Compact Flash (CF) card from the original unit and place it in the replacement unit.
If the models are different, the project will need to be transferred via Interact software, but no changes will need to be made.
The following document outlines the procedure to follow if you need to upload your application files from an existing legacy Interact power station panel and then download to your newer Interact power station panel.
