Where I work — automation, silicon, circuits, and embedded hardware.

Four engineering domains connecting industrial control, semiconductor simulation, circuit design, and working hardware.

F-01

PLC Programming & Siemens Automation

Industrial automation with Siemens TIA Portal — Ladder Logic, digital I/O, timers and counters, motor and conveyor control, interlocks, safety logic, and S7-PLCSIM simulation.
