If your oldest PLC died tonight, could anyone in your building restore the program?
An end-of-life PLC or HMI can leave your plant exposed when there is no backup and no documentation. This free checklist helps you find every one of them in a 30-minute walk of your floor.
Find every PLC and HMI on your floor that is end-of-life, so that the next failure is something you planned for instead of a 3 a.m. phone call.
Know in 30 minutes which programs have no backup anywhere, so that a dead processor means swapping hardware, not rebuilding logic from memory while the line sits down.
Walk away with a one-page risk list you can hand to your boss, so that when you ask for budget, you are pointing at facts instead of asking him to trust your gut.
Plant managers and maintenance managers at manufacturers that do not have a controls engineer on staff. If your plant runs PLC-5, SLC-500, old PanelViews, or HMI software the vendor stopped supporting years ago, this was written for you.
A 15-point checklist you fill out on a walk of your own floor. It covers your control hardware, your program backups, your spare parts, and your documentation. When you finish, you will have a one-page picture of exactly where your plant is exposed, written in plain language you can hand to anyone upstairs.
HillPoint Automation provides controls modernization and systems integration for manufacturing and utility operations. This checklist supports a structured review of hardware, backups, spares, and documentation before planning the next controls project.
