The platform behind most of the European machinery we work on — from S7-300 machines still in daily production to new S7-1500 builds in TIA Portal.
Siemens is the default in most of the European plants and machine builders we support, which means we see the full age range of it: S7-300 machines built in the early 2000s and still running three shifts, S7-1200 on smaller stand-alone units, and S7-1500 on everything new.
New programs are built with structured function blocks and multi-instance data rather than a long OB1. Where a machine has repeated stations, one tested block is instanced per station — which means a fault found once is fixed everywhere.
STEP 7 Classic projects still need changes, and they still need somebody who can read STL. We maintain and extend them without forcing a migration you did not budget for.
When migration is the right answer, the work is planned around your production calendar: the new program is built and tested offline first, hardware is prepared, and the changeover on the machine is kept to the shortest possible window.

Send the program, the drawings or just a description of the problem. You will get a technical answer, not a sales reply.
Tell us about the machine and what has to change. An engineer will reply, normally within one working day.
