Configuration of controls networks including field bus networks (ProfiNet, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, Safety rated field bus networks), and serial communication (RS-232, Ethernet communications between machine PLCs and database systems). Proficiency selecting appropriate circuit protectors, wire and cable, sensors, safety hardware, PLC hardware, remote I/O, VFD and instrumentation and advanced proficiency in modern text-based programming languages (Python, Java, C, VB) and database systems (MSSQL, MySQL, Access) is a plus.
