Fast, Easy Migration of a Complex Printing Control System to the Advanced SIMATIC S7-1500 Controller
Abstract The QuadTech Product Tracking System (PTS) is used in high-speed printing to count product and track waste through an entire printing press. While the PTS had been based on the Siemens S7-300 series PLCs, QuadTech saw an opportunity to migrate to a Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 series PLC with SIMATIC WinCC Professional using the TIA Portal. The code-migration process was straightforward, using the Siemens Code Conversion Tool. Doin
