PLC CONVERSION

Remain on top of the game

Creative. trained. improved.

Our industry experience means we know best when it comes to old and new control system structures. We sometimes have the unique opportunity to upgrade or integrate control systems that we have even helped start up decades before. If you have an old control system, it can be upgraded to match today’s faster pace and multitasking capabilities.

A major priority for companies is planning ahead of industrial control system obsolescence in order to avoid the risk of high repair costs, unplanned downtime, production errors, and safety concerns. Ensure that your business remains competitive by upgrading obsolete PLC’s such as PLC 5’s and SLCs. Old control systems are built with PLC and PLC components that are no longer manufactured, which means there is no replacement when the part inevitably fails. We offer hardware and software conversions in order to keep the original program in tact. Taking it a step further, we can update programs with the most up to date practices, as well as upgrade obsolete HMI hardware and software, so that your line is more ergonomic.

We aim to make PLC conversion simple and hands-free for customers. On top of this, PLC conversion is also a business opportunity for most manufacturers by capitalizing on where the industry is headed. Manual conversion of previous code is often not a plausible solution for a large program if not only due to the significant cost and scope associated with it, especially when changing big-name PLC brands. As a base, many PLC programs are not well documented and do not have meaningful symbol names and code structure. Furthermore, paid PLC translation tools always have the caveat that the code is never fully translated and there is a long list of exceptions that must be manually engineered. CTI delivers on a fast, cost-effective solution because we know the ins-and-outs of PLC programming structure and troubleshooting associated with any plant upgrade.
