Control System Engineering Internship
Brock Solutions
I had the opportunity to join Brock Solutions as a control systems engineering intern. I worked on developing and testing a baggage handling automation system for Fresno International Airport. The information that follows is non-proprietary.
What did I do?
Developed a test emulation UI in Ignition with 200+ industrial devices (motors, sensors, lights, VFDs, emergency stop buttons) for an airport baggage handling system, verifying addressing of PLC I/O signals.
Debugged 450+ lines of PLC ladder logic code in Logix Designer, minimizing system faults by 10%.
Verified mapping of 1400+ I/O signals between devices in PLC code, HMI and UI, validating system integration.
Cleaned data across 20+ Excel spreadsheets of devices to verify proper naming conventions for I/O signals.
Performed a Factory Acceptance Test to external clients for the baggage handling system, justifying design decisions and demonstrating system reliability.
Skills:
Ladder Logic
Ignition Emulation
