Schneider Electric automation and control

Schneider Electric is a global leader in energy management and industrial automation, with a significant installed base across South African industry. The Modicon range of PLCs — from the compact M221 for simple machines through to the M340 for larger process applications — provides scalable control that spans the full breadth of industrial automation requirements. We support Schneider-equipped plants with spares sourcing, system integration advice and lifecycle management across the complete Schneider automation portfolio.

The breadth of the Schneider range means that plants often use the company's components across multiple levels of the automation architecture: Modicon PLCs and I/O for control, Altivar drives for motor speed regulation, TeSys contactors and overload relays for motor control, and Magelis HMI panels for operator interface. When spares are needed across this range, having a single supplier that understands how these components work together simplifies procurement and reduces the risk of compatibility issues. We source the full Schneider automation range and can quote complete panel lists or individual urgent components.

Schneider's EcoStruxure architecture represents the company's approach to connected automation, enabling devices to communicate data for monitoring, optimisation and predictive maintenance. We can advise on EcoStruxure-compatible components and help source the right parts for plants adopting this architecture. For sites running older Modicon platforms that are approaching end of life, we provide migration planning and sourcing of current-generation replacements. Our engineers have experience with Schneider's Unity Pro programming environment and can support program modifications, commissioning and documentation. Whether you need a single spare contactor or support for a complete control system upgrade, we provide the sourcing and technical expertise to keep your Schneider systems running reliably.
