Generating controls & automation system design documents, including state flow diagrams, sequence charts, control narratives, etc. Delivering complete controls & automation packages of complex water treatment process plants that include I/O mapping, PLC code, HMI screens, etc. Setting up operator-friendly simulations of the controls & automation system and facilitating thorough simulation testing. Supporting commissioning and troubleshooting of controls & automation systems. Interfacing with third-party vendor sub-systems using common industrial communication protocols, including Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and Peer-to-Peer Messaging. Working closely with Process-Control Engineers to ensure control narrative accuracy and working towards eliminating gaps between Process and Controls.
