Motion Project Industrial Control – from design to integration
Whether a process retrofit or a new work project, our structured “project” organisation is designed around a number of phases that are each subject to a validation milestone:
- Project launch and organisational phase
- Functional specifications phase
- Design and programming phase
- Platform test phase
- On-site integration phase
- Commissioning phase
At the start of the project, we first define the organisation that is both necessary and sufficient to meet the requirements of the project. After this, a project manager is appointed to act as your preferred contact dealing with both technical and a commercial aspects. He/she shall ensure that the project is carried out in accordance with the technical, time, quality and budgetary objectives. He/she will manage the progress of the project, the management of modifications if necessary and will remain at your disposal for any problems during the project.
What support does DV GROUP offer?
Our Motion Drive unit will support you throughout the project:
- Audit, expertise and advice on architectures and the different solutions
- Help with drawing up specifications
- Functional and Drive design analysis
- Standard programming according to DV GROUP or client programming standard

Some examples of our machine retrofitting work:
Today, many customers in the automotive, steel, agri-food, pharmaceutical, energy and infrastructure sectors entrust their retrofits to us or their new construction projects, why not you?
Retrofit – replacing your Motion drive
Retrofitting allows you to upgrade your motor drive/variable speed drive and its control system if it no longer meets your production requirements or if its components have become obsolete.
Retrofitting may also apply to the automation and supervision associated with the drive line.
The Motion retrofit part allows you to improve your means of production:
- Enhanced reliability, which ensures increased availability of the system
- Excellent flexibility due to the numerous programming possibilities and numerous technical interfaces
- Simple and flexible resolution of a very wide range of Motion problems
- Merger and programming of motion control, automation and technological functions under a single engineering platform
- Reduced and optimised engineering costs
- Easy, homogeneous programming and diagnosis for the whole machine
- Easier system maintenance
- Rapid system reaction and improved machine performance
- Obtain new sources of specialist equipment maintenance support
- Add additional features e.g. enhanced security
- Compliance – in accordance with the recommendations made by audit bodies, but also due to our knowledge in the field, in particular EMC

Case study :
FPT
Need / Context
The machining centre is equipped with an obsolete 840C digital control system. - High failure rate, tedious and costly troubleshooting. - No spare parts.
Solutions
- Implementation of a solution based on the 840DSL digital control with conservation of existing drives and motors (611A and 1FT5).
Results
- Sustainability of the machining centre. - Competence of maintenance staff for this machine. - Easy troubleshooting thanks to the specific documentation developed. - Parts available and in stock. - Economic gain in relation to the machine manufacturer. - Optimisation of machining times.
Vallourec
Need / Context
- Ageing components of the analogue controls of a hot rolling mill. - Need to be able to change the power block in less than one hour. - Replacement of the DC rectifiers of the cages.
Solutions
- Production of rackable power blocks. - Integration of these power blocks with a DC Simoreg CM controller with a Profibus DP communication network. - "Customized" assembly with scaling of direct and reverse power bridges depending on the actual application, and of the tables depending on the available space. - Use of standard components that are easily accessible on the power electronics market.
Results
- Obsolescence management. - Components available on the market. - Standard, economical products, which are easy to maintain.
