PLC & Controls Engineering
Extensive experience with Siemens TIA Portal, STEP 7, S7-1500, S7-300 and Rockwell Studio 5000 / CompactLogix for industrial process and material-handling applications. Development of machine sequences, interlocks, alarms, diagnostics and operator functions for new installations, upgrades and retrofits.
HMI & SCADA Development
Proficiency in WinCC Unified, FactoryTalk View ME/SE and Ignition for visualization, HMI design, alarms and diagnostics in complex production environments.
Drives & Motion Control
Hands-on expertise with SINAMICS S120 and G120 drives, variable-frequency drives (VFD) and motor control for industrial machinery, including drive setup, parameter tuning and commissioning support.
Field Commissioning
Site commissioning including I/O verification, sequence testing, startup, functional testing, optimization and root-cause analysis across industrial process and bulk-material handling systems.
Electrical Engineering & Documentation
Creation and modification of electrical hardware documentation using EPLAN P8, electrical testing, switchgear, sensors/actuators, control cabinets and industrial wiring.
Industrial Systems & Process Automation
Experience with special machinery, process automation, bulk-material handling and production systems, including retrofit and modernization projects.
Rockwell Automation
Practical application of Studio 5000, CompactLogix / 5069, FactoryTalk View ME/SE and Allen-Bradley PLC platforms for process sequences, field-device integration, diagnostics and trend analysis.
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Systematic troubleshooting of complex controls, electrical and process issues across PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, instrumentation and field devices, with identification of root causes and implementation of corrective actions.
PROFINET & PROFIBUS Communication
Knowledge of industrial communication protocols including PROFINET and PROFIBUS for network integration of automation components.
Control-Loop Tuning & Optimization
Optimization of system behavior through sequence changes, parameter tuning and control-strategy improvements to increase stability, throughput and process accuracy.
