Series 90™-70 CPUs can be traded up to the high performance CPX CPUs. Also, customers can trade up their Ethernet Type 1 for Type 2. The Series 90-30 CPUs are also included. The process is easy. Series 90 customers can trade existing CPUs and/or communications modules for credit toward the purchase of a more powerful processor.

Simple. If a customer wants to have more functionality and performance for their process they can trade in a CPU331 for a CPU352 and receive a $400.00 (U.S.) credit toward the purchase of a new CPU352. Or a customer that has a Series 90-70 CPU771 and needs floating point math can trade up to a high performance CPX772 and receive a credit of $1300 (U.S.). Please note that the Series 90-70 CPU to CPX trade up allows for a CPM915 to be traded up to a CPX772 because of the higher performance.

A customer may want to Trade-UP to upgrade their current Genius Bus Network to Ethernet TCP/IP. Normally this would require the purchase of new modules and the customer would have to dispose of the used GCM+ modules. This would result in extra cost for the user and waste. With the Trade-UP program, GE Fanuc will give them credit for returning the GCM+ modules toward the purchase of the Ethernet modules. GE Fanuc will recycle the used modules for Repair & Return.
