The last software version supported on an SMP 16 automation platform is version 8.0; the support for this version ended as of April 2023 and the hardware support ended as of June 2025.

To help make the conversion to the latest platform easier, Eaton is offering free software license tranfer from SMP 16 to SMP SG-4260 automation platform as a special upgrade incentive for current users of the SMP 16 automation platform.

Upgrade now to the latest SMP SG-4260 automation platform.

• Seamless transition of configuration and tools
• Optional dual power supply for uninterrupted operation
• Optional Advanced Ethernet Module (AEM)
  
  • 4 ports 100/1000BASE-T or 4 ports 100BASE-FX (LC or ST connectors)
  • Implements Standard/PRP/HSR Ethernet protocols for higher system availability (redundant networks). Also implements time synchronization via PTP protocol — IEEE Std 1588-2008
• Flexible Ethernet connectivity with two (2) built-in SFP ports (option, 1GbE)
• Optional satellite-based time synchronization (GNSS) for the GPS and GLONASS constellations

• Support of new software and tools updates on the automation platform
• Extended input voltage range on the SMP SG-4260
  
• Optional satellite-based time synchronization (GNSS) for the GPS and GLONASS constellations (only GPS is available on the SMP 16)
• Smaller form factor (2U instead of 3U) for less rack space
• Console port is USB type on the SMP SG-4260 (accessible through Ethernet connection for maintenance and configuration) instead of the serial port on the SMP 16
• Optional additional storage option on an SSD drive (field upgradable) instead of flash drive
• Greater video resolution on HMI local screen
