CH & HW Programmer Types

[Oskool]

Hello all

I have a Siemens RWB2E dial type CH & HW programmer and would like to change it to a more modern looking digital one. Can anyone help with the following?

1. I heard that most programmers have a standard wall plug in socket so no need for rewiring, is this right?

2. Can I change this for a Siemens RWB29 digital programmer?

3. Or if they are mostly the same fitting what programmer would be the best one?

Thanks in advance for any help

The normal arrangement is the 'industry standard' wallplate, but the snag is they don't necessarily connect to the same terminals on that plate. A new device generally comes with a list of which terminals other popular brands and models used, but you might have to work it out yourself.
Ask Siemens about interchangeability
