Summary

Throughout my career in oilfield automation/I&E, I have gained over three years of experience. Troubleshooting issues with different field devices across a variety of brands is something I have learned over the years. I have solid experience with Control Builder Plus (ABB) and Telepace Studios (Scada Pack) ladder logic programs as well as Schneider VFDs. Recently I have gotten a little more expercience with ROC RTUs and Allen Bradley controllers as well as the software used to configure the devices.
