PC

Since our establishment in 1989, it has been our primary goal to ensure that our software systems fully meet the individual needs of our clients. We consistently strive to employ the latest proven technical solutions. As a result, we've had the opportunity to gain significant experience with various programming languages (C, C++, C#, .NET, VBS, Python), numerous SCADA systems (such as WinCC V5 to V7.5, Wonderware – AVEVA - Intouch), HMI systems (ProTool, WinCC Flexible, TIA PORTAL WinCC, TIA PORTAL WinCC Unified), and other development environments (Delphi, Qt). Our utilized and applied database management systems include Firebird, Access, Microsoft SQL. Our latest PC-based systems are built on Siemens WinCC V7.5, utilizing web-based administration applications resting on JavaScript, Python, and HTML foundations, alongside MS SQL databases.

System Integration

In a significant portion of our projects, we encounter large-scale industrial setups where individually related systems operate in segmented (island) mode. Communication between these independent controls is often opaque, making troubleshooting difficult and requiring significant additional costs and resources. Another significant group involves integrating new standalone control devices and software into already centralized systems. Our company has extensive experience in redesigning such systems and even executing scheduled implementations, integrating new devices at the PLC or PC level, and creating new custom software interfaces.

Industrial Control Engineering

After the establishment of 2i Ltd., it initially focused on programming Festo PLCs, but within a few years, primarily due to the strengthening of positions in beverage technology, the focus shifted to the Siemens Simatic PLC family. Collaborating with Siemens Hungary, we have accompanied the brand's development in our projects, covering the entire range of PLCs (S5, S7 series) and industrial displays (HMI). In our projects, we designed and installed significant automation systems utilizing the full range of S5 and S7 PLCs (S5-100, 115, 135, 155, S7-200, 300, 400, 1200, 1500) and HMIs (COROS, Protool, WinCC Flexible, TIA WinCC).

Building on this extensive knowledge, we gained unique experiences in migration projects related to generational changes (e.g., S5-S7 migration). In our service offering, we have provided services for a wide range of industries and control devices (e.g., B&R, Omron controllers).

Of course, this experience extends beyond logical controllers to other areas of control technology due to the integration processes typical of control engineering. We are reliable partners for our clients in industrial communication, sensor and actuator technology, drive technology, and we also have references related to power distribution.

Solutions

From the beginning, 2i Ltd. has aimed to provide its partners with a comprehensive range of services. Therefore, for over 30 years, we have successfully established and operated our 24/7 control engineering service, which has assisted contracted and occasional partners in quickly restoring their production processes in numerous cases. Upon request, we can support our partners with complete project management, system design, custom machine manufacturing, electrical design, machine safety, and quality assurance enhancements, occasional maintenance, or preventive maintenance planning (CMMS). We offer significant experience in the modernization and expansion of control systems, electrical system development, and even the preparation of validation documentation. We have references in the design of data acquisition systems and ERP integration tasks.
