I have a pet bottle blow moulder installed with french Sidel s.b.o.1 m/c. My m/c is fitted with S7 PLC of Siemens & op 25 controller. Presently LCD display has developed black lines and the values are not visible. On enquiry with Siemens, the particular LCD they are not dealing presently. What is the alternative?

Hello Joe;
Generally Siemens offers to repair such units (much cheaper than replacing) but that would mean sending the HMI to them for a period pof sometimes a month, if they service it at all.
The following FAQ from Siemens gives a suggestion of the replacement unit you can use, and guides for migrating the program:

Hope this helps,
