PLC

Programmers are initially engaged in selecting the appropriate hardware. A widely used option is the combination of the calculation speed of the PLC CPU, typically the medium to high-range controllers from the Siemens S7-1500 series. These controllers ensure high blackplane bus speeds and efficient fieldbus performance, typically utilising Profinet. This system merges the user-friendly aspects of Profibus DP with a standard ethernet physical layer. Profinet IO offers greater speed and simplified management, meeting the demands of ever-increasing data volumes from higher-capacity devices.

Emmepi Group programmers can no longer limit themselves to basic ladder programming for PLCs. They must consistently stay at the forefront of innovative technologies, exploring alternative solutions and be capable of making decisions that align with the various needs that arise..

The Siemens TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal serves as the gateway to our automation systems, fulfilling all the criteria necessary for a modern development environment in the realm of automation digitalisation. The latest versions significantly cut down development time thanks to a wide variety of simulation and team management options.

Due to the increasing complexity of modern applications, development is usually undertaken by a team of software developers.

The Siemens TIA Portal development environment enhances efficiency in commissioning the safety features. Furthermore, it offers a unified platform for both standard and failsafe elements, ensuring optimal integration. This means you can operate with a single controller, a single communication system and a single controller for automation.

Emmepi Group's software developers handle a variety of tasks, including selecting the right parameters and writing the most appropriate code. They also update existing programmes that require upgrades, conduct thorough testing phases, fix any bugs that arise and, when necessary, address topics beyond automation, such as data encryption.
