Falcon installs physically between the HMI and the PLC. It passes the original serial traffic straight through while decoding every frame into usable field data. Nothing in the existing system changes — and the valuable control data trapped inside your PLC is visible immediately.
The HMI can see it. The office cannot. Reports, remote monitoring, an MES connection — each one usually means touching PLC code, replacing the whole HMI, or pulling new network cable. Every option means downtime and risk.
The vendor is gone, the manual is lost, the engineer left. Baud rate, parity and slave ID become guesswork — one slow attempt at a time.
Any PLC change means re-validation, downtime and liability. The HMI project file is a decade old and the source is nowhere to be found.
Tag lists, comms code, screen design — a remote HMI runs into weeks of engineering. Small projects never clear the bar.
Installed between HMI and PLC, the original traffic keeps flowing. The Falcon decodes it in parallel and turns raw registers into named data tags.
Specifications →
Baud rate, parity, stop bits, slave ID unknown? The toolkit sweeps the combinations and validates each one against CRC and frame integrity until it locks on.
How it works →
Hand the captured field data and HMI screen information to an AI agent (Claude, Codex, Antigravity and others) and get a remote HMI plus dashboard inside an hour.
The workflow →
The Falcon is not a dumb cable. It understands field protocols such as Modbus RTU — function codes, address ranges, CRC validity, exception responses — so you can see what the line is saying the moment it is wired in.
Digitalisation does not have to start with a rebuild. Fit a Falcon to one critical machine and you have utilisation, output and fault counts the same day. Prove the value, then replicate.
Comms discovery, tag lists and a prototype screen used to take a week or two. With the Falcon and the AI workflow, you leave the first site visit with a demo that actually runs.
