Engineering and service for new and existing plants

We program and extend Siemens control systems, diagnose faults and handle modernization and commissioning for your plant

  • Fast fault diagnosis

    We check your program, signals, drives and communication to find the cause of the fault

  • Reliable functional extensions

    We add sequences, operating modes, interfaces and diagnostic functions to your program

  • Retrofit and migration

    We migrate S5, S7 300 or S7 400 to current Siemens systems during your maintenance windows

  • Commissioning your plant

    We commission your plant, check signals and sequences and correct program errors

Retrofit and migration

S7 300 and S7 400 modernize with a plan

We assess which parts of your control system can stay in use. We plan the conversion to suit your plant and maintenance windows

Guide: Migrating SIMATIC S5 to S7

Existing system

S7 300 / S7 400

Target system

Current Siemens PLC

Peripherals and interfaces

  1. Assess the existing system

    We review program versions, hardware and documentation for the planned modernization

    • Back up programs and project versions
    • Map signals, networks and external systems
    • Trace undocumented logic

  2. Prepare the migration

    We plan the new control system and prepare software and tests for the migration

    • Select target hardware
    • Define the migration scope
    • Prepare software and tests remotely

  3. Carry out the conversion

    We convert your control system during a maintenance window, in stages if needed

    • Convert the control system
    • Test signals
    • Connect systems in phases if needed

From analysis to commissioning

  1. Requirements analysis

    We discuss your plant, planned changes or faults and the time available for implementation

  2. Technical assessment

    We review program versions, documentation and interfaces and clarify access and technical requirements

  3. Project planning

    We agree on scope, effort and schedule with you and define responsibilities

  4. Programming and commissioning

    We program the functions, test them during commissioning and document the implementation

Frequently asked questions

What does PLC programming cost?

The cost depends on your controller, the required changes and the documentation and access available. Work on site also affects the total. Once the technical details are clear, we agree on scope, effort and requirements with you

Which Siemens controllers do you program?

We program SIMATIC S7 300, S7 400, S7 1200 and S7 1500 using TIA Portal or STEP 7 Classic, depending on the controller. For operator interfaces and visualization, we use WinCC, WinCC Unified and Siemens panels, among other tools

Can you work on older plants with incomplete documentation?

We assess this based on the available program version and access options. If we can analyze the program and plant, we record signals, communication and sequences. We then discuss how we can help with troubleshooting, documentation or modernization

When does it make sense to modernize S7 300 or S7 400?

An assessment is worthwhile when spare parts are hard to obtain, extensions are planned or faults keep recurring. Missing project versions or outdated visualization can also be reasons to review the system. We assess whether individual parts of the plant can be modernized in stages or a larger conversion is needed

Let us discuss your PLC project

Describe your plant and what you want to change or fix. We review your information and discuss the next steps with you

Your PLC programming enquiry

If available, include the controller type, TIA Portal or STEP 7 version and project version. The plant location and preferred time window are also helpful
