What eol_hot means for the BOM line
The 1FK7033-4CK71-1RB0: An eol_hot designation is Siemens' signal that the code is winding down — the part is still purchasable from authorised industrial sources for the immediate term but last-time-buy planning is the right discipline, and no factory-direct stock guarantee applies. On a contract build, that translates into a client-facing question: is the motor on the end-customer's approved-vendor list, and does the AML need a deviation memo if a confirmed-equivalent servo from the same family is offered — the BOM line cannot move without written approval either way.
