o Develop detailed electrical schematics I/O lists and wiring diagrams in collaboration with electrical engineers.
o Define control strategies safety interlocks and operational sequences always considering manufacturing process flow cycle time optimization and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
CoDeSys Programming & Development (Core Responsibility):
o Expertly program test and debug PLC logic using CoDeSys (IEC 61131-3) in various languages (ST FBD LD SFC).
o Develop and implement reusable CoDeSys libraries function blocks and structured text routines ensuring solutions are robust maintainable and scalable for production environments.
o Integrate and configure various fieldbus protocols (e.g. EtherCAT PROFINET Modbus TCP/IP CANopen) within the CoDeSys environment.
o Develop and integrate HMI/SCADA applications using CoDeSys visualization or other compatible platforms prioritizing operator usability process visibility and diagnostic capabilities for manufacturing personnel.
Commissioning & Troubleshooting:
o Lead the on-site commissioning testing and tuning of control systems ensuring optimal performance and adherence to specifications with a focus on achieving production targets and minimizing downtime.
o Perform advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics of complex hardware and software issues often under pressure in a live manufacturing environment.
o Collaborate with mechanical electrical and software engineers to resolve system integration challenges understanding their impact on the manufacturing line.
Documentation & Standards:
o Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation including functional specifications design documents test plans and as-built drawings which are essential for long-term manufacturing support and maintenance.
o Ensure all control system designs and implementations comply with relevant industry standards (e.g. UL CE NFPA ISO ANSI) and manufacturing specific regulations.
o Adhere to established coding standards and best practices for CoDeSys development.
Project Leadership & Mentorship:
o Lead technical aspects of projects including scope definition scheduling and resource allocation considering production timelines and resource availability within a manufacturing context.
o Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior controls engineers fostering their development in CoDeSys and control system design with an emphasis on practical manufacturing applications.
o Participate in design reviews and provide constructive feedback.
Continuous Improvement & Manufacturing Optimization:
o Stay abreast of new technologies industry trends and best practices in industrial automation and CoDeSys specifically those applicable to improving manufacturing processes and efficiency.
o Proactively identify opportunities for process improvement standardization cost reduction
