Experience
AUTOMATION SYSTEM ENGINNER | IPCS, INDIA | MAY2015 – AUG2015
I am a certified Automation Systems Engineer (ASE) by Ingenious Power and Control Systems Pvt Ltd
accredited by IAO (International Accreditation Organization Houston USA) where I have successfully
completed my 3 months of training covering a wide area of Field Instrumentation PLC’s (using Ladder Logic
programming), SCADA, VFD , HMI, Electrical Panel Wiring, PLC wiring and basic theory of Distributed Control
System (DCS).Following areas were covered during my training program

• Programmable Logic Controller(PLC)
• Allen Bradley – Micro Logix(1000,1200,1400),SLC 500
• Siemens – s7-200, s7-300 & s7-1200
• Delta – dvp14 ss2(Wplsoft v2.33)
• Schneider – Zeliosoft2
• ABB – ac1131(07kt96)

• SCADA
• InTouch(v9+) and iFix

• Variable Frequency Drive(VFD)
• Allen Bradley

• Human Machine Interface(HMI)
• Allen Bradley (Panel View c400)

PROJECT TRAINEE | PRICOL LTD, INDIA | JAN2014 – MAR2014
• I completed three months of Internship at Pricol Ltd where I designed a “Vibration Shaker Control” using
LabVIEW. The following Software’s were used during this project phase
• LabVIEW (2012) , FPGA programming and cRIO chassis configuration
• NI Hardware Modules (cRIO-9076 Chassis, NI-9234 as A/D module and NI 9263 as D/A Module)
• Microsoft Office Project (2008)
• Microsoft Office (2013)
INTERN STUDENT | NOKIA INDIA PVT LTD | MAY 2012
Completed my implant training at Nokia India Pvt Ltd where
• I learnt the various process involved in phone manufacturing, Testing methods involved in each and every step
of mobile phone manufacturing and how product is shipped to the end users.

Projects
• Designing a vibration shaker control source using LabVIEW
• This project mainly focuses on replacing the controller of the previously existing vibration test
system with LabVIEW and NI hardware modules ((cRIO-9076 Chassis, NI-9234 as A/D module
and NI 9263 as D/A Module)
• The LabVIEW program was designed so that the shaker control vibrates for ‘g’ levels from 1g-5g
with operating frequency ranging from 10Hz-2000Hz
• I have submitted a detailed report on “Vibration test system” and “Working with vibration test
control” which gives a description of vibration systems, need for vibration test system, designing
a vibration shaker control using LabVIEW and its working. It also gives the advantages and
disadvantages of using LabVIEW for vibration shaker control.
• Pseudo Inverse controller for boat
• Designed a one-step pseudo inverse controller for boat using Neural works-2
• The neural network architecture had 3 input neuron one hidden layer with 4 hidden layer
neurons and one output neuron. Delta rule was used as learning rule and Sigmoid was used
as the activation function
• The architecture I designed had very low training RMS error value of 0.0027 and it was able
to track the original path of a boat with an efficiency of 70%
• Design and Fabrication of Soft Robot arm using SMA actuators and Sensors (CURRENT)
• This project focuses on designing and fabricating Soft Robot arm with Shape memory alloy
as actuators and sensors
• The project uses NiTiCu as its actuator and sensor (SMA STRIP) which changes in
accordance with the input voltage applied to it.
• I successfully designed a SMA actuated finger and wounded it around a thermistor to
prevent heat loss.

Skill Summary

• Micrologix(1000,1200,1400) • InTouch(Wonderware) • PLC panel wiring
• S7(200,300&1200) • iFix • Neural works II
• Delta-DVP14 • VFD (AB) • Leadership
• ZelioSoft2 • Panel View c400 • Teamwork
• SLC 500 • Matlab • Report Preparation
• ABB-AC1131(07kt96) • LabVIEW • Troubleshooting
