PLC

Programmers are first involved in choosing the hardware. The one commonly used is a combination of the calculation speed of the PLC CPU, typically the medium-high range controllers of the Siemens S7-1500 family. These ensure high blackpane bus speeds, and fieldbus performance, typically the Profinet, which combines the ease of use of Profibus DP with a standard Ethernet physical layer, Profinet IO offers greater speed and ease of management required by ever-increasing volumes higher data devices

That is, today the Emmepi Group programmer can no longer limit himself to ladder programming of the PLC, but must continually be at the cutting edge, on the most innovative technologies, on alternative solutions, and must be able to make decisions in accordance with the multiple needs that arise.

The Siemens TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal) is the gateway to our automation systems and meets all the requirements that a modern development environment must satisfy in the context of automation digitalization. The new versions reduce development time thanks to a wide variety of simulation and team management options.

And given the growing complexity of current applications, it is typically always developed in teams.

The use of the Siemens TIA Portal development environment for the Safety part already allows for more efficient commissioning. But Siemens' TIA Portal even allows you to have a single environment for both the standard and failsafe parts, which guarantees the widest possible integration: a single controller, a single communication system and a single controller for automation.

The Emmepi Group software developers take care of the choice of parameters, the most appropriate coding, update existing programs that need an upgrade, subject the programs to testing phases, correct any bugs that have emerged, and when necessary deal with topics not strictly related to the world automation such as data encryption.
