A request
The client turned to us with a appeal and a request for help because he found himself in situation of production stoppage due to an incident that caused permanent damage to the control operator panel.
We only had the Operator’s Manual for the controls with photos of the equipment layout and control menus. There was no PLC program, no process control parameters.
The solution
We agreed with the client on a solution that includes the procurement of a new HMI control panel, the reverse process of creating a control panel application whose menus and screen layout are based on the available operator’s manual and requirements for the same operation and process as it was before incident with same equipment control by the operators. The PLC program was uploaded, a new HMI application was created according to the client’s previous requirements.
