I replace outdated controllers, HMI panels and drives – and check whether the modification is a substantial modification under the Machinery Regulation.
Book an initial callThe mechanics run reliably, but the control system is getting old. For older systems such as S5 or S7-300, spare parts are becoming harder to source.
On top of that, knowledge of the program retires with the colleagues who wrote it. If a component then fails, the machine stands still until a replacement arrives. A planned retrofit, by contrast, can be scheduled for a downtime you choose yourself.
Back up the program, record hardware and circuit diagram, assess the spare parts risk.
What is replaced, what stays and how long the machine is down. With a fixed price.
From S5 or S7-300 to Siemens S7-1500 or S7-1200 with TIA Portal.
New panels, frequency inverters and motors where it pays off.
Migration from Profibus to Profinet, connection of IO-Link sensors.
Assessment of substantial modification, risk assessment and retrofitting where needed.
You describe the machine and its control system. I tell you whether a retrofit is worthwhile.
Together with the Machinery Regulation Check. Afterwards you receive a concept and a fixed price.
The control cabinet and program are built while your machine keeps running. I test the program in advance.
Replacement, commissioning and training in the time window you set. Plus documentation and program backup.
More than four years of troubleshooting across the entire line, plus automation projects and the replacement of old Siemens controllers. I led contractors during modifications and shutdowns. So I also know retrofits from the point of view of the maintenance team that has to live with the line afterwards.
All referencesNot automatically. What matters is whether the modification is a substantial modification within the meaning of the Machinery Regulation. I assess this before the retrofit so that you know the consequences.
That depends on the scope and is set out in the retrofit concept. Because the control cabinet and program are prepared in advance, downtime is limited to the changeover and commissioning.
After the survey you receive a fixed price. The survey with Machinery Regulation Check costs from €890 net plus VAT and is credited if you place the order.
In a 15-minute initial call we clarify whether a retrofit makes sense for your machine.
