Welcome to MFG Tech Hub (accessible via https://mfgtechhub.com). We are passionate about industrial automation, Industry 4.0, and sharing practical engineering knowledge. However, because working with industrial control systems involves real-world risks, we need to lay down a few ground rules regarding the information found on this website.

1. Educational and Informational Purpose Only

Everything published on MFG Tech Hub—including tutorials, architectural diagrams, configuration steps, and explanations of standards (like ISA-95 or ISA-99)—is for educational, training, and general informational purposes only.

While the content here is written by experienced automation professionals with over 15 years in the field, it is not a substitute for official manufacturer documentation, specialized engineering consultation, or formal on-site commissioning protocols.

2. "At Your Own Risk" (No Liability)

Industrial environments are highly complex and potentially hazardous. Modifying logic in a PLC, changing parameters in a SCADA system, altering DCS configurations, or interacting with field instrumentation carries inherent risks of machinery damage, factory downtime, or physical injury.

  • Implementation: If you choose to implement any code snippets, logic structures, or architectural designs discussed on this site, you do so entirely at your own risk.

  • Liability: MFG Tech Hub, its owners, and its contributors will not be held liable for any direct or indirect consequences, including but not limited to hardware damage, production losses, data breaches, or safety incidents resulting from the use or misuse of our content.

Always test logic in an offline simulation environment (like PLCSIM) and seek approval from your plant's safety and engineering leads before pushing changes to a live production environment.

3. Accuracy of Technical Information

Technology evolves rapidly, and vendor software (Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, etc.) is constantly being updated. While we strive to keep our guides accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date, we make no guarantees, express or implied, about the absolute completeness, reliability, or accuracy of the information provided. Always cross-reference our guides with the official, current manuals provided by your specific equipment manufacturers.

4. Third-Party Links and Ads

MFG Tech Hub may contain links to external websites, manufacturer datasheets, or software repositories. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites.

Additionally, we use third-party advertising platforms (such as Google AdSense) to help keep this platform free for students and engineers. These advertisers may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history, which is subject to their own respective privacy policies.

5. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this disclaimer, or if you spot a technical error in one of our guides that needs correcting, please feel free to reach out to us via our official Contact Us page.
