Best place for engineering skillsThe good thingsI learned about programming for PLC, using Block Diagram, Structured Text and Ladder Diagram. I was also exposed to HMI programming and interfacing between PLC and HMI using CC Link cables. I was trained hands on skills such as glanding and termination and also perform testing such as Megger, continuity and Electrical Withstand Test.
The challengesChallenge was to familiarize with a lot of programming languages in a short period of time. Besides that, sometimes there will be some changes in the philosophy by the Commissioning Engineer. We have to make the changes and really think on modifying the program and HMI. We also have to stay back till late night at work just to finish job task in short period of time.
