LCFP. A+F
LEiTEK Cylinder Filling Plant for Analysis and Filling Process
LEiTEK offers a software solution with which a complex control of filling and analysis processes for bottles with gases or gas mixtures can be carried out.
The system supports the recipe operation and carries out an online analysis after completion of the filling process.
All data are stored and evaluated and finally a certificate is generated.
Profibus-Diagnose
Professional Communication Analysis and Diagnostic Fault-Finding
…to increase the fail safety of machines, systems and devices and eventually restore their functionality.
We carry out the diagnosis during operation. So, we can reveal weaknesses in old or faulty networks such as faulty connections or cables. All these could lead to machine and plant failures.
After the diagnosis you will receive a detailed measurement protocol as well as a nonconformity review with indications of the remedy and avoidance.
Inspection of Electrical Installations
Inspection of mobile and fixed equipment/ facilities
German law prescribes certain technical inspections to avoid accidents and to improve operational safety standards (according to DIN VDE 0701-0702 as well as DGUV / Regulation 3).
The LEiTEK Team is glad to also offer these inspection services to you.
After completion you will receive a detailed measurement report as well a timetable for the legally required periodic inspections.
Library for TIA Portal
Block Library for and PLC Visualisation
LEiTEK has developed a standard solution for programming with Siemens Simatic TIA-Portal (considering the Siemens Simatic Software Guidelines).
The library consists of single blocks which support a continuous project planning – from the control to the visualisation.
These block solutions also support the handling of process values, parameters, controls as well as reports and interlocks.
