What we deliver

Concept and planning

Control concept, selection of PLC, I/O and fieldbus systems, division into functional units. With complex special-purpose machines in particular, the structure set at the start determines quality and maintainability.

Siemens

S7-1500 and S7-1200 in TIA Portal, distributed I/O with ET 200SP, visualisation with WinCC Unified. Maintenance and extension of existing S7-300/400 plants in STEP 7 classic.

PLC programming Siemens

Beckhoff

TwinCAT 3, embedded and industrial PCs, EtherCAT terminals, drive technology and TwinCAT HMI. Structured and object-oriented programming to IEC 61131-3.

PLC programming Beckhoff

Safety technology

TwinSAFE, Safety over EtherCAT and PROFIsafe. Integration of light curtains, emergency stops, safety doors and safe drives.

Commissioning

Signal testing, commissioning and optimisation on site, acceptance with you and your customer. Afterwards remote maintenance via secure VPN access.

Fieldbus systems

We connect field devices, drives and higher-level systems via all common fieldbus systems, including mixed systems within one plant and gateways between different systems.

  • PROFINET
  • PROFIBUS
  • EtherCAT
  • IO-Link
  • Modbus
  • Safety over EtherCAT
  • PROFIsafe
  • Suconet K

Your company standards

Many machine builders and end customers have their own specifications. We work with your block libraries, naming conventions, alarm systems, visualisation guidelines and documentation requirements. Without specifications, we program in a structured way according to current manufacturer recommendations.

Industries

Our controllers run in plants where downtime is expensive.

  • Special-purpose machinery
  • Plant engineering
  • Process engineering
  • Automotive
  • Building materials
  • Quarrying and minerals
  • Textiles
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Paper
  • Defence

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle complete control systems or also individual work packages?

Both. We deliver the complete control system for a plant or support your team with individual functions, stations or commissioning.

Do you work to our programming standards?

Yes. We follow your plant or group standard, for example for block structure, naming conventions, alarm system and documentation.

Which fieldbus systems do you use?

PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, IO-Link, Modbus and more. We also implement mixed systems and couplings between Siemens and Beckhoff controllers.

Siemens or Beckhoff: which is better for our plant?

That depends on your plant standard, the size of the system and the requirements for drives and cycle time. We advise independently of manufacturers and work with both systems.

Planning a new system?

Briefly describe the project, controller and time frame. We will get back to you with availability and a concrete proposal.
