My mission was to offer the possibility to control the whole plant from the personal computer of the project engineer or the factory manager, instead of the old and expensive touch screen (Touch Panel). I worked on the S7-300 PLC developed by Siemens and its programs: Step 7, ProTool, WinCC flexible and Logo.
