\u2022 I worked in my group\u2019s System Upgrade Team.
\u2022 Learned how to replace a plant\u2019s existing DCS system with the newest hardware and software,
\u2022 Set up and configure the many hardware and software products that we offer to our customers.
\u2022 Knowledge of Windows Server and Domain configuration, Cisco networking, Ovation DCS software, DCS controllers, I\/O Modules, Power and Grounding requirements, and hardware assembly.
\u2022 Conducted the I\/O checkout for new Ovation Upgrades.
\u2022 Developed a strong understanding of the different input and output signal types, power sourcing and shielding methods, wiring troubleshooting, and software I\/O configuration.
\u2022 I began working on a PLC conversion project to DCS control for a Condenser Tube Cleaning System that was later followed by four other similar installations at other facilities.
\u2022 I was responsible for pump station control projects at our office, programming and installing the PLC, and establishing datalink communication between CW and DCS
\u2022 I developed the hardware BOM and drawings, I partitioned the hard- wired I\/O database and module layout to meet process redundancy requirements, and I programmed control logic and HMI graphics using vendor manuals, diagrams, and sequence charts.
\u2022 During the commissioning phase, I executed the I\/O Checkout, functional testing, and process controller tuning at the customer\u2019s facility.
\u2022 I converted an old PLC code that controlled the coal reclaim system to Ovation control.
\u2022 Migrated a PLC-controlled Fly Ash system to Ovation and in parallel, I was developing the controls of a new Wastewater Treatment plant.
\u2022 Following the commissioning of the WWT system started the conversion work for a Water treatment facility from Allen-Bradley Controllogix to Emerson\u2019s DCS control.
\u2022 I was responsible for conducting weekly meetings with the customer, responsible for the hardware, developing the controls, and later installation and commissioning.
\u2022 Managed multiple smaller projects as well as another controls upgrade project of an Auxiliary Boiler, replacing the Allen Bradley PLC with Emerson controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
