  • Mitigate obsolete VSD, prevent failures of drives as failure rate of 2800 Danfoss was high
  • Technology upgrade, upgrade plc from S7-300 to S7-1500, profibus to profinet
  • Standardise HMI to TP700 as a 3rd party HMI was used and was now obsolete
  • Ability to perform backups and diagnostics from the plant control network 
  • Improve visualisation and diagnostics of the VSD on the HMI 
  • 20 x Sinamics G120 VSD series using PM240-2 power module, CU 240E-2PN control unit with Profinet communication and IOP-2 Intelligent Operator Panels
  • Siemens S7-1500 controller series and TP700 Comfort HMI panel. Customer used TIA Portal Step 7 and Start Drive to engineer complete project in one place
"Cost saving, Siemens was 15 % cheaper than Danfoss, easy integration with Siemens S7-1500 PLC and TP700 HMI. No downtime on this system ever since. The very user friendly TIA Software platform allowed us to do the software engineering, integration and implementation in-house and the user interface(HMI) was re-engineered to be more user friendly to the operator."
