Project description:
In September 2022, the project began by addressing the customer's concerns about operational difficulties with the crane and position winch system.
In July 2023, after assessing the situation on the HYUNDAI-10000 (10.000 Ton Crane Barge), Siemens service experts proposed a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and network system migration.
In August 2024, the customer agreed and signed a contract for the implementation of a Siemens service solution.
Customer objectives:
Exchange PLC to SIMATIC S7-400H series for
Main Crane and Position Winch System.
Replace discontinued Remote I/O with SIMATIC ET200SP HA, ET200SP and SIMATIC ET200MP series.
Enhance HMI (Human Machine Interface) with a larger and more
