Software Competencies (7)
Professional Competencies (8)
Have done quite a bit of controls design. Mostly in the 24V side. I have done high power side but not as much.
Full ground up build, commission, debug and buyoff of many different types of machines for the last 8 years. PLC, HMI, ABB, FANUC, MOTOMAN. Robot interfaces to PLC as well as teaching robot paths and commissioning robot cabinet and on board IO signal mapping.
Full design, build, comissuon and debug with FactoryTalk View and Maple HMI's.
This is my strongest asset.
Managed teams of mechanical and controls personnel at customer sites during install. Main point of contact to the customer on many occasions during buy off.
ALLEN BRADLEY - ALL LOGIX PLATFORMS. SIEMENS - TIA PORTAL
More PLC experience but I can definitely pick up a pendant when necessary. ABB, FANUC & MOTOMAN.
I have designed and then wired my own panels and field boxes. Full design of controls prints (24V) with AutoCAD. Some high power design as well but I'm not a ticketed electrician so I stay away from wiring high power circuits.
