Overview
Secure continuity today and modernise at your pace with Parmley Graham and Siemens.
Migration isn’t just about keeping legacy systems running – it’s about preparing your technology for increased requirements in terms of flexibility, product quality or efficiency.
We help you minimise disruption while maximising value. Our experts secure spare parts, evaluate potential risks, and ensure migration to Siemens’ latest platforms only occurs when it best fits your operations.
Why migration is needed:
- The S7-1200 (G1) has been Siemens’ compact controller since 2009. With the launch of the S7-1200 G2 (2nd generation), Siemens introduces significant performance upgrades.
- While the G1 is not immediately obsolete, Siemens is signalling that new projects should start with the G2.
Benefits of migrating to S7-1200 G2:
- Enhanced performance and scalability
- Efficient motion control
- Flexible machine safety
- Increased data transparency
- Seamless integration with TIA Portal V20
Plan your S7-1200 migration using the SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 Migration Tool
- Simply add on the migration tool to the TIA portal V20 to check your set ups compatibility for migration
- When the Add-In is executed, existing program components are automatically transferred to a configured S7-1200 G2 for the user
- Some manual configurations may be needed
