Our solution

Our solution is based on an S7-300 PLC in Profinet communication with a Siemens 15" TP1500 COMFORT HMI panel.
Engineering and programming (TIA Portal V14) were realized in fast-track (one month).
The cabinet was integrated in Dubai and delivered to Nigeria.
The PLCs programs  &  human machine interface application were developed from our offices in Cameroon and loaded on the customer site during the FAT (factory acceptance test).
The project was commissioned in January 2019.
