How we handle plc programming & support requests

Spares and software together

When a module is replaced, the program often needs attention too. We handle both so the line restarts properly.

About plc programming & support from Precision Spares

A PLC program is the intellectual property of your plant — the accumulated knowledge of how your process should run, encoded in logic that has been refined over years of operation. When that program needs to change, whether for a process improvement, a product change or a fault fix, working with engineers who understand both the programming environment and the industrial process is essential. We provide PLC programming and support services for Siemens, Delta, Schneider and Allen-Bradley systems, helping South African plants maintain, optimise and develop their automation software.

Our programming services cover the full scope of PLC software work: making small changes to existing programs to fix a problem or improve performance, developing new programs for expanded or modified production lines, migrating programs from older platforms to current hardware, and documenting existing programs so your team has a clear understanding of how the system works. For plants that have lost program backups or inherited equipment without source code, we can upload the program from the PLC, reverse-engineer its structure and produce fully documented software that your team can maintain going forward.

We work both on-site and remotely, depending on the nature of the work and the urgency of your situation. For machine-down situations, we can connect remotely to diagnose program-related faults and implement fixes without waiting for an engineer to travel to your site. For larger projects, our engineers attend site to work alongside your team, understand the process in detail and implement changes with minimum disruption to production. All programming work includes documentation so that the changes we make are transparent, maintainable and traceable for your maintenance team.

Common questions

Which PLC platforms do you work on?

We support Siemens, Delta, Schneider and Allen-Bradley systems. Tell us what you are running and we will confirm.

Can you work on my existing program without the original source code?

Often yes. We can upload the program from the PLC, document it and make the changes you need.

Do you provide program documentation?

Yes. We can document your program with comments, tag descriptions and a functional description so your team can maintain it.

Can you help with a PLC to SCADA connection?

Yes. We can set up communication between your PLC and SCADA system using the protocols your equipment supports.

What software do you need to program my PLC?

Each brand has its own software. We work with TIA Portal, Delta ISPSoft, Schneider Unity Pro and Allen-Bradley Studio 5000.

Can you make a small change to my program remotely?

In many cases yes, if the PLC can be connected remotely. Tell us what you need changed and we will confirm.

Do you offer ongoing support contracts?

Yes. We can provide ongoing support for your PLC systems including call-outs, remote support and program changes.

Can you help with a PLC upgrade project?

Yes. We handle the full upgrade from hardware selection through program migration to commissioning.

What information do you need to quote a programming job?

The PLC brand and model, what you want changed or achieved, and whether you have the existing program or source code.

Can you train my team on the new program?

Yes. We can provide handover training so your team understands the changes and can maintain the system.
