S7-400 Upgrade & Migration

Legacy automation systems can become difficult to maintain because of aging hardware, spare-part availability and outdated engineering environments.

Hive Automation can assess your existing S7-400 system and help determine whether continued support, partial modernization or migration to a newer Siemens platform such as S7-1500 is appropriate.

A migration should be based on the existing PLC program, I/O architecture, communication network, HMI/SCADA system and process requirements.
