Management of Change (MOC) is a procedure used to proactively manage changes
that can potentially affect safety or general procedure within a process plant.
Product changes often have a signicant impact on plant efciency throughout
the transition period. In lieu of the complexity of completing an MOC approval
process, this MOC Guide has been developed to prevent delays and difculties while
ensuring a successful product change.
Background
To simplify and streamline our wireless product offerings, the TopWorx 4310
wireless product line will move to the Supported lifecycle status effective October
1, 2016. The Fisher 4320 product line will replace the TopWorx 4310. The
Fisher 4320 uses the same mounting, electronics, power module, housing, and
incorporates all the functionality of the TopWorx 4310, while providing precision
valve position feedback throughout the entire travel range. Technical support and
spare parts for the TopWorx 4310 will remain available in Supported status.

Please reference below for denition of the lifecycle stages and associated support
available.
Current: A product in this lifecycle stage is the most current generation
product available.
Active: A product in this lifecycle stage can still be purchased, but it is not
the latest generation.
Supported: A product in this lifecycle stage can no longer be purchased
new. Spare parts and technical support are still made available for up to
seven years.
Retired: A product in this lifecycle stage can no longer be purchased new.
Spare parts and technical support are not available.
The following sections are design comparisons between the Fisher 4320 product
line and the TopWorx 4310 product line. These comparisons demonstrate how
users of the TopWorx 4310 can quickly and efciently transition to Fisher 4320.
Question & Answer Checklist
Q: Does the proposed modication cause any changes to the piping and
1
instrumentation diagram (P&ID)?
A: No, the P&IDs do not change. However, the supporting wiring
diagrams and other documents that specically identify product types
would need to be updated.

technology, or operating and control philosophies?
A: No.
Q: Have the operating and design limits of the proposed modication
changed?
A: No.
Q: Have the codes and standards to which the new equipment has been
designed changed?

demands for battery backup or other power supply redundancy or
reliability?
A: No.
Q: Does the proposed modication introduce new equipment that needs
to be operated and has a new operations list been stated?
A: No.
Q: Does the proposed modication introduce new equipment items
that require spare parts, training manuals, maintenance procedures,
or training to teach the maintenance department how to maintain
them?
A: Yes. The device descriptor (DD) will need to be updated in the 475
Field communicator or AMS Device Manager Software.
Q:Does the proposed modication change the spares for existing pieces
of equipment?
A: No.
Q: Does the proposed modication introduce new equipment items that
10
require periodic predictive maintenance?
A: No.
