Full job description Description: This job involves the programming, startup, and debug of conveyor systems. Offline programming is done at our office, and typically requires the use of Studio 5000 software from Rockwell for the PLC, and Factory Talk View Studio from Rockwell for the HMI.
The engineer will need to control the conveyance of totes or packages on the conveyor based on information from the warehouse control system, plus feedback from other devices on the conveyor like barcode readers, scales, print & apply units, vertical lifts, bin dumpers, stackers, or any other piece of custom equipment our customer would use. HMI programs are required most of the time, and need to provide relevant information on the status of the conveyor system, plus diagnostics in the event of a problem.
We also have a customer that uses our services to design and program factory automation equipment, but that would not typically be somewhere we would put a new hire. There is also some additional programming we do in languages like C#.
Emulate 3D is used for PLC programs to try out before shipping to a customer.
