Control System Modernization
Description
Discontinued controllers, missing spare parts, HMIs nobody repairs anymore: we replace the control technology of a machine without touching the mechanics – planned in stages, carried out in downtime windows and with a fallback in case something does get stuck.
Features
- Migration from S5, S7-300/400 and third-party controllers to S7-1500 or TwinCAT
- Replacement of drives, frequency converters and servo controllers with software adaptation
- New HMIs and visualization with the same operating concept for staff
- Adaptation of safety technology to the current state of standards
- Conversion in planned downtime windows, also at weekends, with rollback option
- Complete documentation and briefing of the maintenance team
Industries
- Automotive and supplier industry
- Mechanical and plant engineering
