PLC controller as a retrofit: Smartly connected and future-proof
Long delivery times and high costs for replacing your old CPU? Invest in the future instead! With a new Siemens PLC controller for your foam cutting machine.
Is your machine controller ready for Industry 4.0?
Since 1999, the SIEMENS CPU S7-300/400 has established itself as the heart of the programmable logic controller (PLC) in many Bäumer machines. And even today, this robust component still performs reliably in countless systems. But you know it yourself: the service life of control units is limited.
What should you do if your CPU fails? Replacements are currently still available, but delivery times are long – and costs are rising all the time. Sooner or later it will be time for the next step: a Siemens S7-1500 and TIA S7-1200 PLC controller will bring your old machine back up to date!
