Replace PLC systems without any downtimes
Our PLC Migration Bridge System affords maximum exibility when no
space in the cabinet
In many elds, such as the process, chemical, cement or automotive industry, and in the energy
sector, plant operators need to perform PLC system updates without any downtimes. In situations
such as these ones, PLC migration interfaces from Weidmüller are the perfect solution
When industrial systems age or are no longer state-of-the-
art, or when there is a limited supply of support and/or spare
parts, systems need to be updated at a process industry
plant’s control level.
When replacing PLC systems, it is vital to avoid cabling
errors and to keep plant downtimes to a minimum during the
migration process.
PLC migration interfaces from Weidmüller provide you with
a secure way of replacing the control level. Even adaptations
or changes to the infrastructure can be performed simply
and quickly without any need to intervene in the eld
cabling.
Introduction – Bridge System
Your special advantages:
Reach your goal faster
With Weidmüller PLC migration interfaces,
there’s no need to make any changes to the
eld cabling, so this shortens the amount
of time needed to upgrade the entire plant.
Indeed, what used to be a PLC migration
process that lasted a good few weeks is now
an update that can be completed in just a few
hours – including the system tests. Production
facilities can return to operating as normal
even after the briefest of downtimes.
