Major Challenges Faced

 Skilled at developing automation control logic from scratch and performing full scale integration and testing. Have
developed the logic of even redundant system from scratch. During the testing had to face programming issues. Used
Siemens forums and rock well literature to seek expertise and clarify errors.
 Had to face various challenges regarding communications of remote stations and main CPU. Had to talk with IT and
Network department to open the port as HEADER for TCP is different for PLC and remote module communication.
 Knowledge of automation systems (control loops, field IO, etc.) in a mission critical environment. Sometimes there
were situation where desired performance was not achieved by scanner and solenoid valves controllers or were
 obsolete and had to find suitable replacement by modifying the PLC logic.
 Experience with industry leading software platforms for SCADA systems is preferred. Worked on wincc and worked on
Factory talk SE and ME from Scratch and developed alarms, data logging, trends, and reporting. While developing a
reporting for alarms it was found that historian was too expensive. So, we had to do it with XL reporter which suited
our need and was a better cost-effective solution.
 Had to modify the Drawing all the times in AUTOCAD whenever we need to add or bypass certain inputs or output for
driving better results.

Significant Accomplishments:
Successfully managed the time and budget for of PLC based Burner Management System and Steam Turbine Generator
during Annual Shut Down; It was no able to Troubles hooted issues such as Redundancy Establishment for CPU and
Modules. Designed and coded MODBUS Communication to Honeywell DCS and so on.
Achieved saving worth INR 10 lakhs / 15,000 USD through cost saving measures
Ensured reliable operations of Power Plant by developing methods and upgrading manufacturing processes to eliminate
waste, reduce cost and improve overall productivity & quality; liaised with Sales and Commercial departments to meet
Internal customer needs.

Project: Buner Management System

Clients: Fact (UD), ELOOR, Kerala
Process: Automation of the BMS and Common Interlocks in CPP
System Details: Siemens S7 400 H, Siemens Power Supply and Switchgears
Description: The RAP plant of FACT (UD) has two boilers namely Boiler 1 & Boiler 2. The interlocks
required for proper functioning of BMS for BOILER 1and BOILER2 were implemented using
STEP7 SIMATIC MANAGER. BOILER 1and BOILER2 has some common interlocks associated
with it. The COMMON INTERLOCKS include operation logic for boiler feed water pump
(4no’s), furnace oil pump (4no’s) and Demineralized water pump(2no’s). The logics required
for working of common interlocks were also implemented. All three systems were basically
HOT standby with redundant I/O switching and412-3H as its CPU.
Responsibilities:
Engaged in panel engineering and testing; spearheaded procurement of materials, programming &
commissioning and documentation of the project

Project: Steam Turbine Generator

Client: BPCL KRL, Kerala
Process: Automation of the BMS and Common Interlocks in CPP
System Details: Siemens S7 400 H, Siemens Power Supply and Switchgears
Description: The CPP plant of BPCL KRL is having STG of 15.7MW capacity. The interlocks required for
proper functioning of STG were implemented. The systems were basically HOT standby with
redundant I/O switching and412-3H as its CPU.
Responsibilities:
Engaged in panel engineering and testing; spearheaded procurement of materials, WINCC SCADA
Programming & commissioning and documentation of the project

Project: Retrofitting of Mitsui Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes

Process: Programming of Closed Loop Control System for RTG using PLC & AC Drives
System Details: SIEMENS S7-300, SINAMICS S120 AC Drive, Siemens Power Supply and Switchgears
Description: The system consists of S7-300 PLC system communicating with CU320 over PROFIBUS. One
motor module is basically used for hoist application, one for trolley and two for Gantry
application. There is also ALM to provide dc link voltage. All of them communicate through
DRIVECLIQ protocol. It is also having a remote ET200 station, communicating with plc over
PROFIBUS, to take digital input and analog input from master control of crane. The various
indication like alarm, trip, load sensing and safety features were incorporated in PC based
WINCC SCADA and HMI. The SCADA and HMI communicated with PLC on PROFIBUS.
