The machines are getting developed in Canada and afterwards adapted in Breidenbach to the needs of the European market. Up to now - the automation systems got changed during this process with a negative impact to the Time-to-Market.
The high engineering efficiency of TIA Portal allows fast changes. S7-1500 and Profinet are convicing customers worldwide and are accepted in the meantime also in Canada.
Used Products:
S7-1500

"Communication via Profinet has brought us significant speed advantages of approximately 25%."
Centerline-Seubert-Manager Udo Schulz and Larry F. Koscielski
High engineering efficiency All programming languages used in the TIA Portal and standardized according to IEC 61131-3 are identical in terms of their functionality and performance. Particularly important for users from Canada and the USA: There are no restrictions in this respect, even for LAD (ladder diagram).
Increased availability Efficient diagnostics helps to locate and correct faults promptly. This increases plant availability. Examples: With the aid of the cross-reference list, the program can be searched in a targeted manner for individual operands. The representation of the network topology makes incorrect plug-in connections or inactive communication connections visible.
Improved performance TIA Portal supports fast and integrated communication via Profinet. Together with the high processing speed of the Simatic S7-1500 controllers, this raises the overall system speed by 25%.
Centerline supplies standard and customized welding equipment to leading OEMs and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers to the automotive industry.
