Windhoff Bahn- und Anlagentechnik GmbH
The conceptual design and implementation of a new automation standard together with visualization based on the TIA Portal, and the switch from PROFIBUS to PROFINET. Migration of our existing projects, and to structure the software in such a way that we were able to optimally use the extended functionalities of the new CPU generations.
TIA Portal with integrated configuration for controllers, HMI, and drives
Configured - Actual comparison, automatic name and address assignment
Library concept and option handling in the TIA Portal
Used Products:
CPU 1517F-3 PN/DP
SIMATIC ET 200SP
SCALANCE X-200 managed
Comfort Panels
PROFINET
SIMOGEAR geared motors
"... gives us a shared tool which will enable us to visualize all of our automation tasks in an efficient and inexpensive manner."
M. Schmitz, Managing Director
Significant time savings during migration compared to complete reprogramming, in addition all engineering tasks done in one tool, including safety functions
One day shorter commissioning time and faster troubleshooting with PROFINET - No DIP switches and more stable communication;compared to PROFIBUS commissioning, the amount of time required with PROFINET has been halved.
Reduced effort for new projects by means of "modular toolkits" for automation and mechanics. This covers 85% of customer requirements in a cost-efficient way - based on: TIA Portal with library concept
