Praxis Automation Mega-Guard Pro Series Spare Parts
Praxis Automation's Mega-Guard Pro Series processor and I/O modules for vessel automation.
Overview
Praxis Automation's Mega-Guard platform is used on vessels for automation, engine control, power management and dynamic positioning. In its obsolescence notification of May 2021, Praxis listed the Mega-Guard Pro Series parts affected, stated that spare parts are not guaranteed after 31 December 2022, and offered migration to the Mega-Guard E-Series. Processor and I/O modules from Pro Series installations are still needed when a module fails before a migration is planned. Send the item number and revision from the module label, with the installed configuration, for a quotation.

Keeping Praxis Automation Mega-Guard Pro Series in service
When a module fails on an older system, there are two routes. A like-for-like replacement keeps the vessel in service; an upgrade can then be planned for a later docking.
Option 1
Replace the failed module like for like
An exact replacement keeps the installed system, its software and its class approval unchanged. Match the part number and revision on the label of the failed unit; the table above lists the order numbers in this family. TimControls sources new and new surplus units.

Plan the manufacturer’s upgrade
Praxis Automation names Mega-Guard E-Series as the route forward. Praxis offers migration to the Mega-Guard E-Series. This is a system migration, not a like-for-like module swap.
