Service and diagnostics

We review alarms, signal states, device communication and the program to find the cause of a machine stop. We can work remotely through access provided by the plant or visit the site. Changes are proposed after the fault has been investigated.

What we do

  • PLC and HMI troubleshooting
  • Program and alarm analysis for recurring faults
  • Remote support via access provided by the plant
  • Service visits on site
  • Software fixes after diagnosis
  • Program backups and documentation clean-up after a breakdown

When to get in touch

  • The machine stops with an error nobody understands
  • A fault comes back every few days and nobody knows why
  • The original machine supplier no longer exists or does not respond
  • You need a program backup and nobody knows where it is

How we agree and carry out the work

We first gather the symptoms: the first alarm, stop timing, controller type and recent changes. We determine what can be read remotely and whether a site visit is needed. After diagnosis, we agree on a correction, verification and a backup. If the cause is outside the software, we identify the additional work that needs to be assigned.

PLC modifications may follow diagnosis of a recurring fault.

Clear HMI diagnostics make it easier to gather information at the next stop.

Limits of the team’s scope

Requests can be sent 24/7, but our team cannot provide a permanent duty rota with guaranteed response times or parallel interventions at many plants. Assistance and timing are confirmed after contact. A guaranteed SLA requires a different service arrangement.

Service requests 24/7

You can send an urgent request at any time. Availability and expected response time are confirmed after contact. A site visit depends on location, the fault and team availability. We do not offer a guaranteed SLA.
