Schneider Electric expertise tailored to new and existing installations

Effective intervention depends not only on software knowledge. It also requires understanding the process, operating modes, safety features, communication with field equipment, and production constraints. INOMATEX can handle new development, take over an existing program, correct a sequence, add a function, or investigate the source of an intermittent fault.

Our automation engineers work from your functional analyses, electrical diagrams, backups, and programming standards. When documentation is incomplete, the intervention begins with an assessment of the architecture, software versions, available licenses, and active communications before any modifications are made.

Consult our expertise in PLC, HMI, SCADA and industrial networks to discover the complementary skills that can be mobilized for your project.

Modicon PLCs and EcoStruxure software tailored to your architecture

Schneider Electric environments encompass several generations of controllers and various engineering software. INOMATEX tailors its intervention to the actual installed hardware to preserve backups, libraries, communications, and site maintenance practices. For process installations and hybrid architectures, we work primarily with Modicon M340 and M580 systems using EcoStruxure Control Expert (formerly Unity Pro), as well as with existing Premium or Quantum systems when versions and source files are available.

For machine applications, the M221, M241, M251, or M262 controllers use separate environments such as EcoStruxure Machine Expert Basic or EcoStruxure Machine Expert. Operator interfaces can be developed or modified with Vijeo Designer, EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert, or other supervisory solutions, depending on the installation generation. Each project takeover begins with verifying the compatibility between the hardware, firmware, software version, and available licenses.

Migration and modernization of obsolete Schneider PLCs

An automation migration is not simply about replacing a CPU. It must preserve production functions, security features, operator interfaces, network communication, and maintenance procedures.

INOMATEX prepares the migrations of Modicon Premium or Quantum systems to a more recent platform, including M580, taking into account the availability of parts, the state of backups and the acceptable downtime.

The process may include inventorying the hardware, retrieving and analyzing the program, mapping I/O and communications, identifying critical functions, defining the target architecture, converting the code, offline testing, FAT, and then restarting on-site.

When a complete replacement in a single phase is not possible, a phased strategy can be considered to limit risks and spread the investment. Our retrofit services are part of a broader approach encompassing auditing, troubleshooting, and modernization of industrial automation systems .

Commissioning, FAT, SAT and on-site troubleshooting

During commissioning, our automation engineers verify the consistency between the program, the electrical diagrams, and the actual behavior of the installation. These checks may include inputs/outputs, sensors, actuators, drives, analog loops, communications, alarms, interlocks, and automatic sequences.

Testing is carried out progressively to isolate faults and maintain traceability of modifications. INOMATEX can intervene during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), prepare Saturation Acceptance Testing (SAT) procedures, support production start-up, or troubleshoot difficult-to-reproduce faults. Diagnostics are not limited to the PLC: they also consider cabling, instrumentation, networks, mechanical equipment, and process conditions.

Schneider Electric interventions in demanding industrial sectors

INOMATEX works on special machines, production lines, continuous processes, energy equipment and logistics installations. Each sector imposes different priorities: rate and availability in manufacturing, traceability in production, continuity of service in energy, coordination of interfaces during commissioning or enhanced safety requirements in Oil & Gas and LNG environments.

Our international experience facilitates integration into multicultural project teams, communication with electrical, instrumentation, mechanical, and process engineering professionals, as well as the monitoring of reservations until the installation is commissioned. Consult the industrial sectors supported by INOMATEX to identify environments that match your project.

Why entrust your Schneider automation to INOMATEX?

INOMATEX combines engineering expertise with on-site commissioning experience. This continuity allows for the development of truly testable functions, better anticipation of interfaces with field equipment, and faster resolution of discrepancies observed during testing.

Depending on your needs, our team can support your engineering department, take on a programming task, prepare a migration, troubleshoot a problem, or perform a commissioning mission. The scope is adjusted to the project duration, the desired level of autonomy, and the resources available to the client.

Modifications, backups, and test results are organized to facilitate validation and future maintenance. INOMATEX operates from France and can mobilize automation engineers for national or international projects.
