Newfield Automation Ltd has a proven track record in migrating SIMATIC S5 to S7 systems and have developed various migration strategies which allows the customer to take advantage of the latest products available. These strategies have been developed to minimise the amount of downtime and disruption during the migration process thereby reducing the costs in loss of production.  

Our migration skills not only lie with PLC’s but also include the upgrade / migration of Siemens HMI’s and Siemens WinCC SCADA systems. We also utilise the best Siemens products available for the

Application(s) required with the customer’s budget in mind. The migration can also be split into phases or systems to help with both capital expenditure and plant access limitations.

• Your S5 system is currently in use.
• You are aware that spares are becoming difficult and expensive to obtain.
• Support can become costly if you have to call an engineer out to site.
• Risk of your system failing and the impact in lost production.

Requirements

• Replace obsolete S5 PLC Hardware
• Improve system reliability
• Improve system performance
