Electrical Engineering & Automation
We plan and build control cabinets, program controllers and commission plants. For new machines, for conversions and when something gets stuck in day-to-day operation.
PLC Programming (Siemens S7 / TIA Portal)
Control programs for machines and plants.
- New programs and extensions of existing ones
- SIMATIC S7-1200 and S7-1500 in TIA Portal
- Distributed I/O via PROFINET
- Safety functions with F-PLCs where required
HMI and Visualization
Operator screens that operators and maintenance staff can work with.
- WinCC and WinCC Unified on Comfort Panels and PCs
- Process screens, recipe management and user management
- Fault messages in plain language instead of error codes
- Trends and archives for troubleshooting
Electrical Planning and Control Cabinet Construction
From the schematic to the tested cabinet.
- Schematics and parts lists in EPLAN
- Assembly, wiring and labeling
- Testing before delivery with a test report
- Documentation that matches what was delivered
Retrofit and Extension
Bringing older plants up to date without rebuilding everything.
- Replacing discontinued controllers, drives and operator panels
- Migrating the existing logic to TIA Portal
- Integrating new functions into existing plants
- Conversion in stages, coordinated with production
Troubleshooting and Service
When the plant is down or a fault keeps coming back.
- Troubleshooting on site or via remote access
- Diagnostics in TIA Portal, measurements on the electrical side
- Fixing and documenting the root cause
- Small changes and adjustments during ongoing operation
Sensors, Drives and Components
Integrating new components into existing controllers.
- Connecting and parameterizing sensors, measuring devices and actuators
- Frequency converters and servo drives via PROFINET
- Connecting third-party devices via Modbus or IO-Link
- Coordination with the existing controller and HMI
From inquiry to commissioning
- On-site survey: plant, existing equipment, schematics, requirements
- Planning in EPLAN and agreeing the scope with you
- Control cabinet construction and programming in our workshop
- Installation, commissioning and training at the plant
PLC programs that maintenance staff can follow
A control program is read for years by people who did not write it. We design it with that in mind.
- One block per function, meaningful names for variables and blocks
- Fault messages with cause and location in plain language
- Commented code and handover of the project files to you
- Tested at the desk before we go to the plant
Typical tasks
- Controller for a new machine
Control cabinet, PLC program and HMI for a single machine or plant section, including commissioning.
- Controller replacement
Replacing a discontinued S7-300 or third-party controller with an S7-1500, migrating the program and bringing the plant back into operation.
- Extending a plant
Integrating an additional station, a new drive or new sensors into an existing controller and its HMI.
- Recurring fault
Finding the cause when a plant stops sporadically, using diagnostics in the controller and measurements on the electrical side.
- Process control
Controlling temperature, pressure, flow or vacuum, with recipes for different products.
- Connection to IT
Passing controller data to a database, MES or ERP via OPC UA or S7 communication.
