We provide a comprehensive maintenance and repairs service
for your systems. This includes both the installation of a
remote maintenance system using UMTS as well as regular on-
site maintenance and checking by our technicians. These
measures enable downtime to be avoided in advance.
Systems or machines which are spread out over a large area
can also be maintained reliably and comfortably by means of
the management platform we install. This means that direct
intervention into your in-house network is avoided.
Our maintenance and repairs service enables you to increase
the availability of your machines and to largely avoid cost-
intensive stoppage times.
Maintenance and repairs
Commissioning of your system takes place in accordance
with the current DIN regulations. All measurements
stipulated by the VDE (Association of Electrical, Electronics
and Information Technologies) and DGVU ((German Statutory
Accident Insurance) are carried out and the saftey systems
operated and tested before commissioning. All
measurements are recorded and logged as a matter of
course.
The test phase only begins following successful initial testing
of the system. The system is switched on and the users
activated in accordance with the electric circuit diagram.
The test phase under production conditions, including
measurement of all wiring and systems, is followed by a one-
week period accompanying production. Staff training
sessions on the operation and maintenance of the system
are also held during this period.
Commissioning
Reconstruction, extension and modernization of
existing systems
We upgrade your existing systems, thereby bringing them up
to current state of technology. Depending on necessity, we
replace individual control components only or renew the
complete electronics system including the control cabinet and
wiring.
We also extend existing systems in terms of hardware and
software.
All tasks are co-ordinated and implemented from one source.
Using the concepts drawn up in the development phase as a
basis, we create a circuit diagram for you that allocates the
address spaces of the I/O levels as well as the
communication addresses.
Manufacturers of the switch cabinet components are
decided upon from lists of approved suppliers.
After definition of the parameters to be measured, we
choose the required sensors with due consideration of the
lists of approved suppliers.
Once the circuit diagram has been completed, we create the
software for the control and visualization of your system in
accordance with the strategy determined in the
development phase.
Planning
Development
We develop a control concept for you which provides a graphic
representation of the interaction of the hardware compo-nents
of your facility.
The interfaces and the communication methods and paths
between the individual components of the system are shown in
the control concept.
Depending on the application, we use the following
communication systems:
•
Profibus
•
Profinet
•
Modbus
•
ASI Bus
•
I/O Link Technologie
Following a risk assessment performed by the design engineer
of your system, we draw up a safety concept.
Together with you as a customer, we decide on a software
strategy that includes both implementation of the visualization
(Human-Machine Interface) as well as the type of programming
regarding the programming languages used. Existing modules
that might possibly be used for connection to superordinated
systems are taken into account.
Consultation
Our independent, in-depth consultation services
cover all issues related to your project in the
following areas:
•
Range of functions
•
Choice of components
•
Operational safety
•
Effectivity
•
Total cost
For your company this means:
•
Planning reliability

Avoidance of misdirected investments
KARL Automation Technology GmbH
provides all services concerning the
structure of new industrial and production
systems or the redesign and
modernization of existing industrial and
production systems in all fields of
production.
You determine the scope of our service.
This can be either a complete package
ranging from consultation
and planning to the commissioning and
establishment of a maintenance system,
or simply an individual module.
Our offer
Remote Maintenance Management is realized
with components and software solutions from the
Siemens Sinema series.
It is connected ahead of an independent server
which administers the connections to the clients
(customers). The server is located in Germany and
complies with the latest security regulations.
