Hello guys!
Mission accomplished!
We’re excited to share that we have finally completed this 7-week project, a full reverse engineering and automation restoration mission for a control panel abandoned by an OEM.

The system had no documentation, was password-locked, and was completely non-operational. Despite the challenge, our team successfully decoded and rebuilt the entire control system from scratch.

Project Deliverables Completed:
✔ I/O List generation
✔ Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
✔ Cable Tagging
✔ Accurate As-Built Wiring Diagrams
✔ Functional Design Specifications
✔ Safety Relay Logic Reverse Engineering
✔ Factory Reset of protected PLC & HMI
✔ New automation program engineered from zero
✔ Full Functional Test Run & Commissioning

From abandoned ➤ engineered ➤ alive.
This is our passion at Watchdog Automation.
If you have a locked, abandoned, or failing automation system that needs restoration or reverse engineering, we can help you bring it back to life, we don’t care if it is password protected, trust me.

Just reach out — and we’ll engineer it for you!

MIGRATION PROJECT UPDATE

Allen-Bradley Micrologix 1200 + PanelView 300 → Siemens S7-1500 (CPU1517-3 PN/DP) + MTP1200

Upgrading Control. Enhancing Reliability. Future-Proofing Operations.

Our engineering team is extending works this weekend performing a full PLC & HMI migration—bringing the system from legacy Allen-Bradley hardware into a modern, high-performance Siemens TIA Portal ecosystem.

Scope of Works:
• Complete control system migration (AB → Siemens)
• Rewiring of all field I/O’s
• Cable tagging & documentation alignment
• Integration to CPU1517-3 PN/DP
• MTP1200 HMI design & commissioning
• Site installation, retrofitting, SAT, Testing & Commissioning, verifications, turnover and documentation

From Legacy to Leading-Edge.
This is how we build smarter, safer, and more reliable automation systems.

🎉 That’s a wrap! 🎉

What an awesome few days at the 12th IIEE Western Mindanao Regional Conference held at the Royce Convention Center, Grand Astoria Hotel, Zamboanga City! 🇵🇭

Big thanks to the IIEE organizers for having us — it’s always great to be part of an event that brings together amazing minds in the electrical and automation industry. 🙌

To everyone who dropped by our booth, thank you for spending time with us! We truly enjoyed meeting you all, talking about your projects, and sharing ideas about automation and SCADA solutions.

And to our new friends and end users who shared your ongoing and upcoming project requirements, we appreciate the trust and can’t wait to work with you soon! 💡⚙️

Special thanks to Angler JV Solamo (and the JV Solamo Fishing & Adventure crew) for accommodating a quick fishing trip before the event — great vibes to kick things off! 🎣🤝

Thank you, Zamboanga! Grateful for the connections, conversations, and collaboration opportunities. See you at the next one!

Another successful project completed! ⚙️💪

We’ve just commissioned and tested a 700-horsepower Danfoss VACON NXC Variable Speed Drive at a chemical plant in Cebu. This system is configured as a cold standby redundancy setup — ensuring continuous operation in case the main drive experiences a fault. Reliability and performance, all in one powerful package.

If your facility needs the same VFD solution or you’re planning for future system upgrades, feel free to reach out! Our team is ready to provide expert support — from design and configuration to installation and commissioning.

We also keep a wide range of Danfoss VLT | VACON drives in stock, ready for quick deployment whenever you need them.
