Project Description
I’m preparing to roll out a full-scale industrial automation project and need a seasoned engineer who can own the control-system portion from concept to commissioning. The electrical backbone of the plant is already defined; what’s missing is the intelligent layer that will drive motors, valves, and safety interlocks smoothly and reliably on the shop floor.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Architecture & Schematics – translate the functional requirements into detailed electrical drawings and panel layouts that any local fabricator can build without a single back-and-forth.
• Hardware Selection – specify PLCs, drives, relays and protective devices, balancing performance, availability and cost. I’m open to brands, but the parts list must be globally serviceable.
• PLC / PAC Programming – develop clean, well-documented logic that operators can troubleshoot easily. Ladder, Structured Text or a hybrid is fine as long as it follows IEC-61131 standards.
• HMI / SCADA Hooks – tag mapping and data blocks ready for whichever visualization platform we settle on later, ensuring expansion does not require code rewrites.
• Testing & Commissioning Support – provide a simulation file (or virtual machine) for FAT, then remote assistance during on-site SAT so we can hit production targets fast.
• Documentation – I expect a revision-controlled package: BOM, wiring diagrams in DWG or PDF, annotated source code, and a concise O&M manual.
Acceptance criteria: every I/O point in the list must toggle successfully in the simulator, safety chains must fail-safe on power loss, and all files open error-free in the latest versions of EPLAN or AutoCAD Electrical.
If you’re comfortable delivering turnkey control solutions and can communicate clearly across time zones, let’s get started.
