Duties/Day to Day Overview
A day-to-day for Controls in the design phase might involve:

• Developing function blocks for new hardware in Siemens TIA Portal or designing new HMIs to interact with sequences they would have built.

• They would also do bench tests or proof of principle tests in collaboration with mechanical engineering.

• They might also be interfacing with the Electrical engineers on their project.

• During commissioning, they might be leveraging virtual commissioning tools such as Process Simulate to test equipment virtually and finally supporting commissioning including IO checks and testing of their PLC or robot sequences on the real machine which will be in the Bay area.
