Retrofit

As your systems or machines get on in years, it is not unlikely that an adjustment or maintenance measure will become increasingly cumbersome. In the worst case, critical components or control systems are also discontinued and can no longer be replaced.
This is where it can be extremely useful to carry out a retrofit and bring your system up to the latest state of the art with a new control system. This can also increase productivity through optimised programming or simplified operation with a touch panel.
The retrofit can be carried out using the bypass method so that the machine is only unavailable for a minimal period of time.

The advantages of a retrofit are

-Increase productivity and system availability

–Maintenance and energy costs are reduced

–Operator convenience improved thanks to touch panel and improved visualisation

-Production processes can be adapted and optimised more easily

–Machine safety according to current guidelines (UVV)

-Conversion using the bypass method, minimising the restrictions and production downtime caused by the conversion

–Remote maintenance available via MTS-Box

The Bypass Procedure:

In the bypass procedure, the system to be replaced is equipped with a new control unit (shown here in red) while the old control unit remains in use. In this way, conversions and program changes can be carried out quickly and checked by replugging without affecting the availability of the system. If the new control system runs as required, the old control system is removed and the new one is installed in its place.
