The checklist has 16 questions in five weighted categories: PLC programs (30%), HMI/SCADA screens (20%), frequency converters and drives (20%), access and documentation (15%), and responsibility and process (15%). Questions are rated 0–4 and the result is a weighted average of 0–100: below 40 is critical risk, 80 and above very good readiness.
Example: if only PLC (30%) and HMI (20%) are fully backed up and the rest are missing, the result is 50/100.
Frequently asked questions
Why is PLC program backup important?
If a controller fails and there is no fresh backup, restoring the machine can take days or weeks.
What should I back up?
PLC programs, HMI/SCADA projects, drive parameters and documentation of settings and passwords.
How often should I back up?
After every change and regularly. Keep copies in at least two separate places.
