  Master’s Degree Automation Software Masters through Research
  MEng through research in the Optimisation of cycle and response times of industrial controllers in a high volume manufacturing environmentResearch masters in which I have developed a novel system for analysing controller scan time costs within a running PLC program which will also facilitate the optimisation of PLC software for shorter scan times and as such, faster response times.

In developing this system, I have devised a device for measuring the response time where the PLC interfaces with the plant – the I/O and have also adapted a system for evaluating programming systems (MS word) for operation in a Siemens S7 PLC program. The resultant system allows for predictive analysis and development offline without having to intrude on the PLC programming running on the machine. Show less
