Herbert Seelmann’s Post

During my internship at Groupe GICA Tebessa (SCT), I gained valuable experience working with Siemens G120C Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and their built-in macros. VFDs are crucial in reducing power losses and costs by optimizing motor current at startup, which reduces electrical stress and extends motor life. They also allow for precise motor speed control without the need for additional mechanical components, leading to significant energy savings. One of the key aspects I focused on was the proper installation and configuration of Siemens G120C VFDs. This involves setting up digital inputs, analog inputs and outputs, and relay outputs correctly. Sometimes, it’s also necessary to configure an appropriate feedback loop. Although this setup can be time-consuming, the built-in macros in many VFDs can greatly reduce the time and expertise required. These macros, accessible via the control panel, utilize the manufacturer’s experience to pre-set various parameters, minimizing startup time and optimizing results. While understanding how to access and operate these macros is essential, an override function is available to adjust parameters if needed. In my experience, even subtle differences between drives from the same manufacturer can be managed effectively by following instruction guides. Overall, using macros simplifies the installation and startup of VFDs, optimizing performance and cost savings while minimizing engineering efforts. A special thank you to all my mentors at Groupe GICA SCT who welcomed me and provided everything I needed. Your guidance and support have been invaluable. Check out the video attached to see how the speed of a motor can be controlled using digital inputs. #IndustrialAutomation #VFD #Engineering #Internship #GICASCT #EnergySavings #MotorControl #SiemensG120C

Little article about my career so far at Tritech 👍

We are looking for our next batch of graduate trainees in our Singapore office. 1. Why Graduate Trainee? When you are fresh out from polytechnics or universities, it is hard to decide which (first) path you should take in the working world. As a GT, we offer you a chance to rotate around technical, sales, marketing and operations tasks before. We will also prepare small projects, both individual and group work. In short, we try to let you find out what you like and what you don’t. And it’s for us to know about your strengths too. 2. What is Automation about? We take for granted simple machines like the automatic doors when you enter a mall, or how lights turn on by itself… worry not, there are little blue fellows helping us behind the scene. Yes, Automation is the “Smurf” living inside these machines, and you are the one to program it :) And of course, we do much complex systems as well. 3. What background should I have? Engineering diploma/degree is a must + a curious mind !! 4. How can I learn more? Just follow the link https://lnkd.in/gikSi_fn and find out more. Or just drop us a message.

Excitement of getting Employment Vs The realities and responsibilities of the new role. Never see your Shortcomings/Challenges as deterrent to your learning, see them as Opportunities to Grow. Starting a new job is always thrilling. The promise of new opportunities, the chance to grow professionally, and the excitement of stepping into a fresh environment fill you with enthusiasm. You envision yourself mastering the role, contributing to the team, and perhaps even advancing quickly within the company. This initial excitement is essential—it fuels your drive, sharpens your focus, and motivates you to embrace the challenges ahead. I remember feeling this surge of excitement when I first stepped into the manufacturing and engineering industry as a Mechatronics Corrective Maintenance Technician. The idea of working with advanced machinery and being part of a dynamic team was exhilarating. My background in domestic and industrial electrification and industrial training had prepared me well, or so I thought. I was eager to apply my skills, learn new systems, and make an immediate impact. However, as the days turned into weeks, the realities of the job responsibilities began to surface. These jobs are sometimes physically demanding, requiring long hours of standing, bending, and working in confined spaces. The challenges of troubleshooting complex systems and maintaining high-stakes equipment under pressure were far more intense than I had anticipated. The need for meticulous attention to detail, combined with the responsibility of ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment, demanded a level of focus and resilience that I hadn't fully appreciated before. The initial thrill gradually gives way to a deeper understanding of what the role truly entails(it is a compulsory part of the process). It's in these moments that you start to build the skills that will define your career—problem-solving under pressure, effective communication with your team, and a commitment to ongoing learning and improvement. In my experience, the key to balancing the excitement of a new job with the realities of its responsibilities is to remain adaptable and open-minded. Embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth. The reality of the job might be tougher than expected, but it also offers the chance to develop resilience, refine your skills, and gain invaluable experience. In conclusion, while the excitement of a new job is important, it’s the realities of the job responsibilities that truly shape your professional journey. Embrace both with equal enthusiasm, and you’ll find that each day brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and excel in your career. #Engineering #MaintenanceTechnician #IndustrialAutomation #Mechatronics #Manufacturing #ElectricalEngineering #PreventiveMaintenance #Automation #MechanicalEngineering #IndustrialEngineering #OperationsManagement #TechnicalSkills #HVAC #PowerSystems #Robotics

Many have asked me why I chose to start working after completing my Diploma instead of pursuing a BTech immediately. I used to be an average person, hesitant to step out of my comfort zone, fearful of public speaking, and unsure about expressing my ideas for improvement. I was disconnected from reality, assuming the worst outcomes without understanding task priorities and more. Today, I can confidently say that I have transformed. Thanks to TechnipFMC, I have learned the importance of self-improvement, identified my priorities, honed my communication skills, and embraced a more focused and decisive lifestyle. #PersonalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #TechnipFMC

Hi connections, This is the project on RESERVED PUMP/MOTOR using PLC.✌️ Project overview: This project contains three motors( A,B,C) out which two motors (A,B) will be in running mode and one motor (C) will be in reserved. When a fault occurs in any of the running motors (A,B) in that condition motor C will get ON. Again if any fault occurs in any of previously running motor and reserved motor (C) then whole system will get OFF. Reserved motor(C) will get OFF and motor A & B will be ON when fault fixes . If a fault accurs in reserved motor (C) then whole system will be OFF. 👉>>>At a time only two motors can run and a motor kept reserved for emergency condititon or fault condition<<<😍 #plc #automation #industrialautomation #automationsolutions #hmi #scada #plcproject #plcprogramming #plctraining #plcnext #plcsystem #plcprogrammer #sdi #eatm #sdib #schneiderelectric #schneiderplc #codingjourney #codinglife #codingchallenge #trainers #traineeship #apprenticeships
