Automation Engineer
I am a mechatronics engineer working in industrial automation, PLC systems, HMI/SCADA, industrial communication, field integration, commissioning, fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.
I value systems that do more than simply operate; they should be safe, easy to monitor, allow quick intervention in case of faults, and avoid unnecessary downtime during maintenance. During commissioning and troubleshooting, I focus on systematically identifying the root cause of faults through PLC diagnostics, I/O checks and field signals.
This website is my personal engineering archive, where I document my own projects, technical notes and engineering experience gained through commissioning, fault diagnosis, maintenance, field integration and system improvement in industrial automation.

SCL or LAD in TIA Portal? Which One Should You Use and When?
TIA Portal users eventually face the same question: Should I use LAD or SCL? I don’t think asking “which one is better?” is really…
