Hi I am an embedded systems engineer with over 12 years of experience in PLC-based machine automation, 24VDC control panels, stepper motion, sensors, Modbus communication and PC interface software. I can review your existing machine sequence and turn it into a practical automation package: controller architecture, economical component selection, I/O and tag list, control philosophy, state machine, interlocks, fault matrix, BOM, panel/wiring documentation and PLC/PC-side programming needed for a prototype that can later move toward Industry 4.0. My approach would be to first understand the exact machine sequence, number of axes, sensors, limit switches and pneumatic actions, then select hardware that is reliable but not unnecessarily expensive. I can also prepare the design so future data logging, remote monitoring or SCADA connection is not blocked by the first controller choice. A few details will help finalize the work: preferred PLC brand, stepper motor ratings, number of inputs/outputs, required PC interface functions, and whether you already have any electrical drawings or only the prototype hardware. Please contact me to discuss details.

Hello. I have experience working on projects with servomotors and stepper motors, specifically in bag cutting and sealing machines, and flexographic printing presses. It would be very helpful to know what type of machine it is. We can work with PLCs from the Mitsubishi line, which are the leaders in motion control, or a more economical but good quality solution is the Wecon PLC line, which I have also worked with extensively and they have not disappointed. I also know some suppliers of servodrives and steppers from China who offer a good price/quality ratio and are direct manufacturers, not resellers. I hope we can work together.
