About the role

  • Program Modicon M580/M340 PLCs for discrete applications (packaging machines, conveyors, robotic cells) using EcoStruxure
  • Develop sequential control logic using SFC (Sequential Function Chart) to manage complex machine states (Start, Stop, Abort, Hold) according to standards like PackML.
  • Standardize code using Derived Function Blocks (DFBs) for repetitive discrete assets (e.g., a standard "Conveyor Section" or "Pick-and-Place" block).
  • Diagnose electrical and logic faults on high-speed lines to minimize downtime and ensure safety compliance
  • Select the appropriate programming language (Ladder vs. Structured Text) for specific machine functions (e.g., ST for complex data sorting, LD for safety interlocks).

Requirements

  • Experience in Discrete Automation, specifically with high-speed machinery, material handling, or assembly robotics.
  • Advanced proficiency in EcoStruxure Control Expert (Unity Pro) and IEC 61131-3 languages.
  • Expertise in Modicon M340/M580, counting cards, and motion/drives integration.
  • Knowledge of fieldbuses relevant to discrete control (CANopen).
