Description

Key Responsibilities:

1. PLC Logic Development • Program Design: Develop and debug complex PLC code using TIA Portal or Step 7 Classic.

• Language Proficiency: Write logic in various IEC 61131-3 languages, primarily Ladder Logic (LAD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Control Language (SCL).

• Modular Architecture: Create reusable Function Blocks (FBs) and Functions (FCs) using Data Blocks (DBs) for standardized project execution.

• Hardware Configuration: Select and configure Siemens hardware, including S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300, and ET 200 distributed I/O systems.

2. SCADA & HMI Visualization

• Interface Design: Design and configure SCADA systems using WinCC Professional, WinCC V7.x, or WinCC Unified.

• Graphics & Animation: Create intuitive HMI screens for Siemens Comfort or Basic panels to provide real-time process monitoring.

• Alarms & Trends: Configure alarm management systems and historical data logging (Trending) for process analysis.

• Scripting: Utilize C-Script or VBScript (and increasingly JavaScript for WinCC Unified) to handle complex background tasks and dynamic UI elements.

3. Networking & Integration :

• Industrial Protocols: Establish communication between PLCs, HMIs, and drives using PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and Modbus TCP/RTU.

• Drive Integration: Configure and commission Siemens SINAMICS VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) via Start drive within TIA Portal.

• IIoT & Data: Interface the SCADA system with SQL databases or higher level MES/ERP systems for production reporting.

4. Testing & Commissioning:

 • Simulation: Use PLCSIM and PLCSIM Advanced to validate logic in a virtual environment before on-site deployment.

• Field Commissioning: Perform on-site startup, including I/O checking, loop tuning (PID), and troubleshooting of electrical panels.

• Documentation: Maintain detailed "As-Built" documentation, I/O lists, and user manuals.

Soft Skills:

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical thinking.

• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

• Customer-oriented mindset
