Cairns & Far North Queensland

PLC Software Services

PLC programming, backup, and documentation across a wide range of platforms — including brands that most local automation companies won't touch. Protect your programs now, or pay for recovery later.

Most PLCs in FNQ have never been backed up. The program inside is the only copy — and when that hardware fails, you're looking at a full reverse engineering job or a rebuild from scratch. We extract and back up your PLC programs while they're running, so a hardware failure becomes a straightforward swap instead of a crisis. When we're on site for a PLC backup, we'll typically pull your HMI project files at the same time — because they go hand in hand.

Beyond backup, FNQ Controls Tech handles the full range of PLC software tasks — programming, modification, recovery, and communication configuration. We work across major international brands and the lesser-known PLC platforms that are increasingly common on imported machinery in FNQ — brands that most local automation companies simply don't support.
