CAREER HISTORY

April 2011 to July 2016 – Joseph Rhodes , Wakefield - Electrical and Control Design Engineer

Employed as a (project based) electrical and control system design engineer, working on large projects supplying mechanical and hydraulic presses and mechanical handling equipment to various customers around the world. Duties include electrical distribution and control panel design, specification and procurement of control equipment, development of Siemens Step 7 PLC and WinCC Flexible HMI software, on site commissioning and preparation of manuals. During this period I have also gained some experience working with Yaskawa robots.

The projects worked on include the following

A hot forging plant installed in Pakistan and which consisted of 3 off 800T hydraulic presses powered by 16 off 350KW pumps controlled by soft starters. The system was controlled by a Siemens 319F safety PLC and ET200s remote I/O stations running on “Profinet” and also consisted of an ASi networked safety system and HMI PC stations running WINCC flex.

Installation of 2 off Hydraulic presses and mechanical handling equipment including robots and conveyors installed in Brazil. The plant was controlled by 4 off Siemens 317F safety PLCs and ET200s remote I/O stations operating on a “profinet” network as well as PC based HMI units operating WINCC Flex software.
