Training

Hindustan Insecticides Limited (public sector, Petrochemical process industry), Cochin, India

Executive Electronics and instrumentation engineer at HIL, Cochin, India. 6/ 4/2008 to 6/28/2013

I did my co-op program and apprentice training in the same company during my early period in HIL.

Software programming & hardware configuration of PLC, DCS of following make:

-Allen Bradley (Micrologix 1000/1200, SLC 5/03,5/05)

-Siemens (S7-200, S7-300)

-DCS (Centum 1000)

-LogiX Pro Software (PLC ladder programming)

Software Knowledge:

Comprehensive exposure LogiX Pro, Intouch SCADA software along with good exposure to C,C++,Java Script,

HTML,ASP.Net, C# scripting, MS Office, Windows,200/XP/VISTA, Visual Basics, and other Internet Applications .

Working experience

Graduate Teaching assistant at Pittsburg state university, electronics department 8/13/2013 to 13/12/2014

working. Assisting Electronics Professor Randy Winzer helping him for paper correction, lab works.

I was teaching LogiX Pro software in ‘Automation engineering’ subject for under graduate students.

Executive Electronics and instrumentation engineer at HIL, Cochin, India. 6/ 4/2008 to 6/28/2013

• Good knowledge in DCS, Distributed control system (centum 2000) .Three out of five

petrochemical plants was controlled by DCS. Used to observe HMI, if set value change

occurs for particular process, the alarms will be the indication for us to find the source of

error and mostly chocking inside the impulse tube or malfunctioning of the transmitter

connected in the control would be the cause of issue. After solving the issue, will be going

back to control room and again DCS will be starting if it is not making alarms,it goes for

normal functioning. Since all plants were chemical manufacturing, I am capable to supervise

chemical plant under the control of DCS/ PLC.

• Experienced in Programmable logic device PLC.PLC was the main controlling element in

steam supply generating plant, water treatment, zero discharging plant, nitrogen supply

generating plant. As per the weekly maintenance and checking schedule, I used to visit all

these plant and make sure all the relay contacts are in proper functioning. Sometimes the

process engineers need my presence to show some wrong functioning due to some settings

change happened .I will analyze the need and will check the P and I diagram for getting the

overall idea of that particular set values and operating points.

• Sound Knowledge in Logix Pro software and ladder programming. Sometimes the ladder

program needs to be changed in the same PLC for some improved performance. Capable to

understand and modify the ladder logic programming.

• Can handle designing the control loops for different process situations. As some of the

processes were highly explosive, pneumatic control units were highly preferred for such

processes. I have designed the control loops which work on the basis of pressure,

temperature, flow and level. Handled both electronic and pneumatic control loops including

sensing element, electronic/pneumatic transmitter, controlling (in control unit), feedback and

control valves (electronic/pneumatics).

• Servicing knowledge about the control equipment like different transmitters, sensors, control

valves.

• Design level activities can analyze E&I diagram, I can identify the process flow by looking

at the E&I diagram, Designed different control loops for different reactions.
