HMI · Replace an obsolete operator panel
Obsolete HMI replacement: PanelView, Siemens OP/TP, Pro-face, GOT
When an old operator panel fails and no spare is left, the machine stops even though the PLC is fine. We repair the old HMI where we can, and replace it with a current panel: screens rebuilt, communication set up, cut-out adapted and tested before installation.
From and to
| Legacy | Current | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Allen-Bradley PanelView Standard, PanelView Plus 6 | PanelView 5000 or PanelView Plus 7 | Screens rebuilt; tags mapped |
| Siemens OP7, OP17, TP170, MP270, MP370 | Siemens Comfort or Unified | WinCC flexible to TIA |
| Pro-face GP series | GP4000 or ST6000 | Project conversion |
| Mitsubishi GOT-A900, GOT-F900, GOT1000 | GOT2000 | Converted and checked |
| Omron NT and NS | NA or NB | Rebuilt |
| Delta, Beijer, Weintek and others | Current models of the same or another brand | Chosen to fit the PLC protocol |
What needs care
- The panel cut-out size and an adapter plate if needed
- Communication protocol to the PLC
- Recipes, alarms and passwords in the old project
- Screen backups that may only exist inside the panel
Keeping the old one running
We repair HMI touch screens, displays, backlights and power supplies at component level. See HMI repair.
Questions
Can you recover screens from a panel with no backup?
Often, by uploading from the working panel. That is why we suggest a backup now, before it fails.
Can we change HMI brand?
Yes, if the new panel supports your PLC protocol. We check before quoting.
Send the nameplate or encoder label
A clear photo of the motor nameplate and, if the cover is off, the encoder label is enough to start. We reply with whether it can be repaired and a quote.
