Hello All,
I am brand new to this site. I was wondering how all you PLC guys got started? I have been working as an Electronics Technician in the electronics field for 10yrs, I spent 4 years working with HMI controls, everything from Allen Bradley PLCs to local process controllers. I enjoyed interfacing with the machine controls alot, more than the component level troubleshooting, failure analysis, and engineering work I have done in the past. My job right now, I get to program Automated testers using labview and that is about the closest to controls I get now.
I have been searching for different positions and it seems the maintenance positions are the ones playing with the PLCs. I have background in the Pharmecutical and Weapons Productions industries (thankfully not together ...). My education is 3yrs and an ASEET + various OJT stuff. Cna any of you advice me as to what type of positions/companies to look for?
Thanks,
Jason
