Siemens PLC service – Farad Otomasyon

International machine builders need dependable field support after delivery, especially when an installed PLC or control panel must be upgraded, repaired or adapted for a new production line. Farad Otomasyon supports overseas OEMs and their customers with on-site electrical and automation work across Istanbul and Kocaeli, with service planning toward Sakarya and Tekirdağ.

When does a machine need a PLC or panel retrofit?

A retrofit can be the right path when a PLC, HMI, drive or safety component is obsolete; spare parts are difficult to source; the original wiring has been modified repeatedly; or a machine must connect to a new line. The best scope depends on the machine’s condition, production requirements, available drawings and the OEM’s technical standards. Replacing a controller without mapping its signals and sequence can create avoidable commissioning delays.

How local field support works

The OEM shares machine documentation, current software backups and the proposed upgrade scope.
Farad reviews the site conditions, panel, I/O, motors, drives and safety interfaces with the customer.
Signals and wiring are documented before approved changes begin.
PLC/HMI, drive and field-device integration is tested with the OEM’s remote engineering team when needed.
Commissioning results, open issues and updated handover files are recorded for the machine owner.

What an OEM should prepare

Useful starting documents include electrical drawings, PLC and HMI project files, drive parameter backups, alarm history, machine model and serial number, photos of the control panel, and a clear description of the production objective. The customer should also confirm the available shutdown window and the site contact responsible for safety coordination.

Local technical partner in Türkiye

Farad Otomasyon works with Siemens, Delta, Schneider, Beckhoff, Omron, Mitsubishi, Danfoss, Lenze, ABB and other industrial automation platforms.

International machine builders, OEMs and industrial companies often need a reliable local technical partner when equipment is installed, commissioned, repaired or modernized in Turkey. Farad Automation provides industrial automation and electrical engineering support from Istanbul and Kocaeli, with practical access to Tuzla, Gebze, Çayırova, Dilovası and major manufacturing zones.

Local Technical Support for Overseas Machine Builders

A machine may arrive in Turkey with a complete design but still require local coordination for electrical installation, PLC checks, field wiring, safety circuits, I/O testing and production trials. We support overseas engineering teams during installation and commissioning, help diagnose site-related faults and provide follow-up assistance after handover.

OEM field service and subcontract technical assistance
Electrical control panel inspection and modification
PLC, HMI and SCADA software diagnostics
AC drive and servo system parameter checks
Machine relocation, line transfer and restart support
Preventive maintenance and emergency breakdown service

Production Line Installation and Commissioning in Turkey

Successful commissioning requires more than energizing a panel. Our process can include cable and terminal inspection, motor rotation tests, sensor alignment, valve operation, safety relay checks, PLC input-output verification and controlled production trials. Technical findings are communicated clearly so the overseas OEM and the local factory can make informed decisions.

PLC and HMI Software Modernization

Older machines may operate with obsolete PLCs, unavailable HMI panels or undocumented programs. Farad Automation evaluates the existing sequence, field signals and operator requirements before proposing a controlled migration. We work with Siemens SIMATIC, Schneider Modicon, Delta, Mitsubishi and Omron platforms, and can assess other systems according to project access and documentation.

Modernization may include PLC replacement, HMI redesign, alarm history, recipe management, production counters, communication with drives and remote diagnostic preparation. Existing software is backed up whenever the hardware and access conditions allow it.

AC Drives, Servo Systems and Motion Control

We provide selection, supply, installation, parameterization and commissioning support for common industrial drive families including Danfoss VLT and VACON, ABB ACS, Schneider Altivar, Siemens SINAMICS, Delta, Yaskawa, Fuji Electric, Omron and Invertek. Motor current, load type, braking requirements, control reference and fieldbus communication are reviewed before replacement or startup.

For precision motion applications, we work with Siemens, Mitsubishi, Delta, Yaskawa, Panasonic, Schneider Lexium and Omron servo systems. Positioning errors, encoder alarms, motor brakes, mechanical loads and PLC motion commands are assessed as one complete system.

Sensors, Valves and Field Equipment

Reliable automation depends on correct field feedback. We supply and install industrial sensors from SICK, IFM, Pepperl+Fuchs, Omron, Balluff, Turck, Leuze, Banner and Keyence according to sensing distance, output type, environment and process requirements. Pneumatic applications may include Festo, SMC, Aventics, Parker, Camozzi and Metal Work valves, valve islands, cylinders and air preparation equipment.

Electrical Panel Retrofit and Control Panel Manufacturing

Control panel retrofit can include replacement of overheated switching components, cable identification, ventilation improvements, safety circuit updates, PLC and drive replacement, terminal organization and drawing revisions. New automation panels can be manufactured with appropriate Schneider Electric, ABB, Siemens, Eaton, Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller and Mean Well components based on the approved design.

Industrial Service Coverage

Our location supports factories in Istanbul and Kocaeli, including Tuzla industrial areas, Gebze Organized Industrial Zone, TOSB Automotive Supply Industry Specialized Organized Industrial Zone, Gebze Plastics Organized Industrial Zone, Gebze Güzeller Organized Industrial Zone, Dilovası Organized Industrial Zone, IMES Machinery Specialized Organized Industrial Zone and GEBKIM chemistry industrial zone. Project-based support can also be planned for other regions of Turkey.
