Oct '06 to present - Legg Controls Limted.

Self employed Control Systems Consultant with my own VAT registered, Limited company.

 I have been responsible for the design, programming, testing and commissioning of approximately 25 PLC based control systems, utilising Beckhoff, Allen Bradley SLC, Micrologix, RSLogix5000 and ControlLogix, IMO SoftPLC, Siemens and Mitsubishi PLC's.

 I have written most of the PLC control programs and designed the HMI layouts wherever possible. I have also been responsible for some panel testing and regularly travelled to site to commission the panels. (Eire, UK, Switzerland, N. Ireland, Libya, Greece and Algeria.)

 Most projects have still been in the Tobacco Industry although I have also worked on a Cosmetic Mixing Bowl system, a Wash Water system, a Water Bottling Plant Supply Pumping system, a Pharmaceutical Refrigeration system, a De-salination Boiler Control system in Libya and supported 4 Water Treatment Works in Northern Ireland.

 While I relish the variety of contract work and the challenge of going on jobs with no background information, I am more at home immersing myself with all the information I can get hold of when designing control systems from scratch.
