EX-SIEMENS ENGINEER · S7 · TIA PORTAL · WINCC

PLC software that simply works on the plant floor

BPL Projects programs, tests and commissions Siemens control systems for machines and process plants. From a new S7-1500 to migrating an ageing S7-300, or a complete project from design to service.

Services

A single assignment or the complete control scope of a project. I work for machine builders, end users and installers.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT · TURNKEY

Turnkey projects, one point of contact

Beyond automation, I can take on the entire project: design, construction, piping, installation, and maintenance and service afterwards. You deal with one party that keeps the overview.

S7-1200 · S7-1500

PLC programming

Structured software in TIA Portal, in SCL, LAD, FBD or GRAPH. Clearly organised and commented, so your own engineers can build on it later.

WinCC Unified · Comfort

HMI and visualisation

Operator screens people understand: clear statuses, alarms that point to a cause, and recipes you can manage without a manual.

S7-300/400 → S7-1500

Migration

Moving existing STEP 7 Classic projects to TIA Portal and new hardware, with minimal downtime for your plant.

FAT · SAT

Commissioning

I/O checks, functional tests and start-up on site. Including a test protocol and handover to your team.

Diagnostics · Optimisation

Troubleshooting and improvements

A machine that has stopped, or keeps throwing the same fault? I find the cause in the software and adapt the control system.

Profinet · Profibus · OPC UA

Networks and integration

Distributed I/O, drives and links to MES or SCADA. Networks that run reliably and are easy to diagnose.

Is your plant still running on an S7-300 or S7-400?

Siemens is phasing out these series and spare parts are getting scarcer. Plan the move before a failed CPU decides the timing for you.

Experience

At Siemens and later with BPL Projects, I have worked on installations where downtime is not an option: aviation, chemicals and energy.

AIRPORT · BELGIUM

De-icing fluid installation

A turnkey project: the complete installation for de-icing fluids, from design, construction, piping and installation to the control system. I also provide the maintenance and service that followed.

TURNKEY
AIRPORTS

Airport fueling systems

Control systems for the fuel installations used to refuel aircraft at airports.

FUEL
ATHENS AIRPORT

One of the first redundant systems

Implementation of a redundant PLC control system: if one CPU fails, the second takes over the process without interruption.

REDUNDANT
PORT OF ANTWERP

Chemical tank terminals

Automation of tank terminals for the storage and transfer of chemical products.

CHEMICALS
BOILER HOUSE

The first redundant fail-safe PLC

Redundancy and functional safety combined in one control system: it keeps running if a CPU fails, and shuts down safely when it has to.

FAIL-SAFE + REDUNDANT

Approach

  1. 01

    Analysis and specification

    Together we define what the installation must do: functions, I/O list, interlocks and what the operators need.

  2. 02

    Engineering and simulation

    Building and testing the software and HMI with PLCSIM, so most faults are found in the office.

  3. 03

    Testing and FAT

    A factory acceptance test with you present, following a test protocol agreed in advance.

  4. 04

    Commissioning and support

    Start-up on site, handover of documentation and source code, and support when questions come up later.

Expertise

Fully focused on the Siemens platform. That means knowing the details: from hardware configuration to the quirks of older firmware.
