Product Details And Specifications

LTI 1345.811.1-02 1340.013.1-00 Module – Obsolete Legacy Spare Part

When this module fails, the question is not whether to repair it — it is whether your facility can absorb a forced system migration. A full-line upgrade triggered by a single discontinued module routinely costs manufacturers between $500,000 and $3,000,000 USD, factoring in engineering hours, new PLC programming, commissioning downtime, and retraining. DriveKNMS holds verified stock of the LTI 1345.811.1-02 / 1340.013.1-00 module — a component that has become increasingly difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Securing a spare now is not a procurement decision; it is an asset protection decision.

Solving the Discontinued Hardware Crisis

LTI Motion (formerly Lust Antriebstechnik) produced a range of servo drive and motion control modules that became deeply embedded in European and Asian manufacturing lines throughout the 1990s and 2000s. The 1345.811.1-02 and its paired board 1340.013.1-00 are internal functional modules within LTI's legacy drive architecture. These components are not interchangeable with current-generation hardware without significant re-engineering of the control cabinet, motor feedback wiring, and application software.

For plant managers operating lines built around this hardware, the calculus is straightforward: the cost of sourcing a verified spare is a fraction of the cost of a forced migration. Production lines that have run reliably for 15–20 years on LTI drive technology represent proven, depreciated assets. Replacing the entire drive system to compensate for one unavailable module destroys that depreciation advantage and introduces new commissioning risk. The correct strategy is to extend the operational life of the existing asset through targeted spare part acquisition — buying 5 to 10 more years of production without a capital expenditure event.

DriveKNMS specializes in exactly this scenario. We maintain sourcing networks across decommissioned facilities, authorized service centers, and OEM surplus channels to locate modules that have disappeared from standard distribution.

Condition & Reliability Assurance

Every LTI module processed by DriveKNMS passes a structured 5-step quality protocol before it is offered for sale:

• Step 1 – Visual and Mechanical Inspection: Full board inspection for physical damage, burn marks, cracked solder joints, and connector pin integrity.
• Step 2 – Electrolytic Capacitor Assessment: Aging electrolytic capacitors are the primary failure mode in modules of this era. Each capacitor is tested for ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and capacitance drift. Units with degraded capacitors are either recapped or quarantined.
• Step 3 – Firmware and Revision Verification: Where applicable, firmware version and hardware revision markings are documented and cross-referenced against known compatible system configurations.
• Step 4 – Pin and Connector Corrosion Check: All edge connectors and pin headers are inspected under magnification for oxidation and corrosion. Affected contacts are treated or the unit is rejected.
• Step 5 – Functional Bench Test: Units are powered and tested under controlled conditions where test fixtures permit. Test results are documented and available upon request.

Key Features for System Maintenance

• Drop-in Replacement: The 1345.811.1-02 / 1340.013.1-00 module installs directly into the original drive chassis with no mechanical modification required.
• No Reprogramming Required: The replacement module retains the original hardware interface, eliminating the need for PLC re-engineering or application software changes.
• Avoids Engineering Reconstruction Costs: A verified spare eliminates the need to engage a systems integrator for a full drive replacement project — a process that typically runs 3 to 6 months and carries significant commissioning risk on a live production line.
• Asset Life Extension: A single spare module can extend the operational life of an LTI-based drive system by 5 to 10 years, deferring capital expenditure and preserving a proven, stable production platform.
• Documented Provenance: DriveKNMS provides sourcing documentation and condition reports to support your maintenance records and internal audit requirements.

FAQ

What warranty applies to an obsolete module?
DriveKNMS provides a 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on all refurbished units. New Old Stock units carry a 180-day warranty. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing at the time of purchase.

How do I know the unit is genuine and not counterfeit?
All units are sourced from traceable channels — decommissioned OEM equipment, authorized service partners, and verified surplus stock. Markings, date codes, and board revisions are inspected and documented. We do not source from unverified grey-market brokers.

Should I buy more than one unit?
For any production line that depends on a single LTI drive system, holding a minimum of two spare modules is standard practice. The sourcing window for obsolete parts narrows every year. Units available today may not be available in 18 months. A long-term spare parts reserve is the lowest-cost insurance policy available to a plant manager facing system retirement pressure.

Can DriveKNMS source related LTI modules?
Yes. Contact us with your full BOM or drive system model number and we will advise on availability across the LTI legacy product range.
