- Program and integrate PLCs with HMIs, servo drives, VFDs, inspection devices, sensors, industrial cameras and external systems.
- Work on inspection machines involving height inspection, part detection, sorting logic, station indexing, servo positioning, stepper control, camera triggers and reject handling.
- Integrate devices using industrial communication protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Ethernet, RS485, TCP/IP and other machine communication protocols.
- Work with inspection instruments, measurement devices, digital gauges, displacement sensors, photoelectric sensors, proximity sensors, and encoders.
- Create and modify electrical schematics, control panel layouts and wiring drawings.
- Support control panel wiring, IO testing, device addressing, signal testing and field installation.
- Perform PLC and HMI programming of Schneider, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Allen Bradley, Veichi or similar PLC systems.
- Develop HMI screens for machine operation, manual mode, auto mode, alarms, recipes, calibration, diagnostics and production monitoring.
- Troubleshoot hardware and software issues during machine build, testing, installation and production trials.
- Perform Factory Acceptance Test and Site Acceptance Test.
- Understand customer requirements and convert them into automation logic, specifications and machine operation documents.
- Prepare technical manuals, IO lists, wiring references, operating procedures and troubleshooting documentation.
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, production and software teams to complete projects.
- Support installation and commissioning at customer sites.
Required Skills
- Strong experience in PLC programming for industrial machines.
- Good understanding of Ladder Logic, Function Block Diagram and structured machine sequencing.
