Present
Senior Programmer Analyst/System Administrator
Work Examples:
Wrote "NexGenLink", a software product and HMI (Human Machine Interface)
used as the front panel of the NexGen GCU (Gas Control Unit, a programmable
PLC).
NexGenLink is a Visual Basic 6.0 application used by ACS Gas
utility customers. It gets data from the GCU and displays it as
human readable information. Typically distribution pressures are
displayed on automated gages. When data is retrieved it is stored
in a database keyed to the address of the device.
This program is also used to configure the database for the GCU and
modify its behavior. Alarms can be set, controls can be operated
and long term data can be graphed, by the application.
. Wrote "PMC-328 ControlSmartStep", the control interface for the PMC-328 a
complex stepper motor driver. Customers use this HMI to build motion
control profiles and store them in the device's memory.
The PMC-328 Programmable Machine Controller can be programmed with ACS's
intuitive graphical interface by connecting a PC running Windows.
ControlSmartStep is a visual configuration program that is used to set
resolution, motor currents, top, constant and jog rates along with the ramp
index and limits.
The motor control program is easily constructed using the
ControlSmartStep's series of drop down motion commands. Each command to the
motor can be tested individually or run as part of the completed program.
Once complete, the program can be uploaded to the
PMC-328.
