PLC & HMI programming

Develop or adapt machine control software and operator interfaces around the required functions, operating sequences and existing installation.

Control-system migration

Assess a platform change, including Allen-Bradley to Siemens. Map programme functions, I/O, field devices, communication and machine interfaces.

smart-703.jpg
Retrofit & process optimization

Examine the current process and the constraints of installed equipment. Define changes to machine functions, station coordination and production sequences.

Implementation & commissioning

Plan integration, software testing and commissioning within agreed responsibilities and the available production window.

Plan the change to your controls.

Existing machines need a clearly defined migration or retrofit scope. The following information helps establish the interfaces, risks and commissioning plan.

01  Control environment

02  Required functions

03  Commissioning window

Controller, HMI and drive types, available source programmes, electrical drawings, I/O lists and connections to higher-level systems.

Current issues, target behaviour, machine sequence and the functions to retain. Include safety interfaces and constraints on modifying the equipment.

Site access, permitted downtime, test conditions and acceptance criteria. Agree backup, handover and operator documentation within the project scope.
