I have been a PLC Systems Automation Engineer and Allen Bradley Systems Integrator for over 20 years designing, installing, programming, commissioning and servicing PLC based control systems. I have also worked as and routinely perform work on my projects that qualify me as an Industrial Electrician, Electrical and Instrumentation Technician, Electronics Field Serviceman, and as an Electrical Maintenance Person. I do work as a PC Systems Technician, am proficient with Microsoft Software, do my own drawings with AutoCad, and can work as a Control Panel Builder.

I am certified by Microsoft as a PC Systems Builder and PC Refurbisher.

Major Companies Worked For

I have worked as a contractor for Tenaris Energy, Georgia Pacific, IBM, Kimberley Clark, Macmillan Bloedel LTD, Weyerhaeuser, Union Pacific, International Paper, Rheem, Carrier, Riceland Foods, Whirlpool, Greenline Biofuels, Glad Manufacturing, Scott Paper, and others.

Best Project

My best project was in the Forest Products industry working for MacMillan-Bloedel LTD. of Canada. MacMillan built a laminated beam plant in Colbert, GA to manufacture a new product they had just developed called Parallam. Parallam is a wood replacement for structural steel beams. It is noteworthy in the fact that it is made from low quality pine trees, but has a very high tensile strength.

In the process of making Parallam, four veneer clippers sheer sheets of Southern Pine into 5/8” x 8’ strands. Glue is then applied to both sides and the strand proceeds onto an oscillating, moving conveyor. The strands then fall onto a conveyor in an interwoven pile. These stranders are located along the run of the conveyor, each contributing to the layup of strands. A gamma gauge measures the density of each running inch of the layup as it is being fed into a continuous moving press. Four 125KW microwave units pump microwaves into the press to cure the glued strands.

When the layup of strands exits the press, it is a tightly compressed billet over one foot square. It is then sanded and re-sawed into commercial grade beams and headers.

The entire process is controlled by 14 networked PLC5 and PLC3 processors and 5 Advisor PC Operator interface computers all synchronized over 3 DH\DH+ networks using bridges to speed-up data throughput. I wrote the programs for all of the PLC and Advisor equipment and setup the networks. I also provided program documentation and AutoCAD I/O and overall architecture drawings. The job took me 3 years to complete and was a tremendous success.

Other Skills and Aptitudes

I have a good Mechanical Aptitude and have done Mechanical Maintenance. I know Fluid Dynamics, both hydraulic and pneumatic, and how to install, calibrate, and troubleshoot associated equipment. I have worked with Thermo Dynamics, and equipment used to control burner systems most of my career. I have done Carpentry, Plumbing, and HVAC. I have worked as a PC Repairman, Network Installer, and have Instructed Microsoft Software classes. I can learn just about anything in a short amount of time.

Best Choice for the Position

I feel I am a talented and hard working individual, with lots of experience and know-how in the types of automation that would benefit your company. I am good at teaching others what they need to know about operating their equipment. I know that given the chance, I can make a positive difference in your company’s profitability and will conduct myself in a professional and ethical manner.

Job Experience

I can repair CMOS circuit boards and understand the gate logic involved in each IC. I h, install and repair the system wiring, transmitters, transducers, and valves on the surface and subsea.

I can troubleshoot electronic equipment using diagrams and schematics to the component level, have experience with PC card testers, replace components, complete integrity and function tests, perform the necessary calibration, and verify results by operational checkout. My duties have also included interfacing with engineering where I would assist engineers by identifying problems and suggesting solutions. I maintained detailed files on service calls and modifications of all equipment. These files included detailed modification summaries, producing drawings and modifying specifications, and data gathered during test procedures.
