PLC programming for machine and process automation
PLC software in Siemens TIA Portal, B&R Automation Studio and WAGO/CODESYS. FAT in Volendam, SAT on site.
What we do
GCG writes PLC software for machines and process installations. From I/O and sequences to motion and fault diagnosis, we program, test and commission the controls. Our work includes Siemens, B&R and WAGO/CODESYS.
Programming languages
Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, and Sequential Function Chart (IEC 61131-3).
Platforms
Siemens (S5, S7-300/400, S7-1500, TIA Portal), B&R (Automation Studio), WAGO/CODESYS.
Architecture
I/O design, functional specifications, modular software structure, version control.
Safety
Safety PLCs and functional safety per EN ISO 13849-1 / EN 62061.
Motion & robotics
Servo and motion programming, robot integration (e.g. B&R ACOPOS, COMAU).
Validation
FAT in Volendam, SAT on site, documented acceptance criteria.
Not separate from electrical engineering and commissioning
An output in the PLC program must match the drawing and the terminal in the cabinet. We coordinate software, electrical work and commissioning, then test the functions on the machine.
Delivery and handover
The assignment defines which PLC software, functional description and test results will be handed over, so your engineering team can review operation and take over maintenance.
Engineering experience: control software for four DeRaKo machines
Frequently asked questions
Do you only work on B&R, or other PLC brands too?
Can you take over and extend an existing PLC program?

Our engineers’ work
From sensor readings to operator information.
Lucas delivered a PLC/HMI system for measuring pleat height and pack width. Measurement processing, limit monitoring and calibration turn sensor data into useful information at the machine.
A digital request identifies the right compartment.
Nick wrote an RS485 driver for a Pick-by-Light system. The communication connects a request from an application or database to the hardware indicating the storage location.
