Gregory — Controls Engineer

RsLogix 5000 and 500 with panelview HMI integration.

Keyence area scanners, light curtains, lasers and vision sensor integration through Ethernet IP.

SMC valve bank and cylinder integration.

Balluf IO link integration from master to discrete blocks.

Fanuc robot programming and setup integrated with an assortment of plc platforms.

Experience in designing robust logic integrated with HMI's, robotics and any other modules necessary for the job. Experience in adding Ethernet modules for communication to devices in the field. Structured text experience and importing/exporting UDT's. Exposure to latch based programming for easy trouble shooting with maintenance and more dynamic applications if needed. Remote IO experience to expand capabilities outside area local to main cabinet.

Used keyence IV series vision sensors bolted to extruded aluminum frame to pass fail pallets stopped at check station. All communication done through ethernet to ensure remote access to engineers.

Developed comprehensive HMI's through Allen Brandley's Factory Talk Machine Edition. This includes cell overviews and manual/auto operations of robot cells and conveyors.

Used cognex patmax obeject location to locate seat coming down conveyor. Triggered camera and sent X/Y coordinates to PLC. Through group input sent two integer values to robot from plc. These values were applied as an offset to master work position from which the camera was triggered. The robot was successfully able to account for any pallet variation and pick/placed consistently.
