Hello! I'm here to help you with your PLC and HMI programming - specifically Automation Direct's line of PLCs (Direct Logic, CLICK, Productivity, Koyo, Do-More, etc.) and HMIs (C-More) and VFDs (GS4, IronHorse, GS20, etc.). I have fully licensed versions of their programming software, including DirectSoft 6 as well. I can additionally program PLCs like Schneider Zelio and M221 / M241 / etc.. I have extensive experience with industrial instrumentation in oil/gas and manufacturing environments and can help you remotely troubleshoot, program, and more! Got an old program you want to convert? No problem! I’ve done conversions from PLCs like Allen Bradley SLC500 and MicroLogix and EZAutomation as well. I can also design and build your custom control panels in my shop in Montana.
