We were asked to perform a PLC and HMI retrofit on a printing machine. The existing control was obsolete and unsupported, putting the machine’s reliability at risk.
To future-proof its operation, it was fitted with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC and Unified HMI. This also brought it up to modern standards and will ensure sound performance for many years.
Going the extra mile to maintain and improve ease of use for the operator, custom symbols were created on the HMI to mimic the originals.
The job was carried out around the customer's production, wiring going to plugs to allow a hot-swap, minimising downtime.
