When standard expertise is no longer enough
Control expertise meets system understanding.
Siemens S5 has been discontinued for many years, yet it continues to operate reliably in numerous industrial systems. At the same time, different generations of S7 remain in service. Troubleshooting, maintenance and further development therefore require experience with both the controller and the process behind it.
DCS looks beyond individual components to the interaction between controls, peripherals and the die casting system. Even substantially larger companies regularly turn to the small DCS specialist team because they know how rare outstanding Siemens S5 and S7 expertise has become.
What DCS delivers
Keeping proven systems operating reliably.

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions about Siemens S5 and S7.
Does DCS still support systems with Siemens S5?
Yes. DCS provides electrical troubleshooting and technical analysis for existing systems – remotely and on site – while also considering peripherals and the overall process.
Does DCS migrate Siemens S5 to S7?
Yes. DCS supports S5-to-S7 migrations and also automates casting cells with Profibus/Profinet and supplies S7 controls for trimming presses.
Must a functioning S5 controller be replaced immediately?
This can only be assessed based on the system, spare-parts situation and operational requirements. DCS analyses the specific case and develops a suitable approach.
