PLC Consulting Perth
Practical PLC programming, troubleshooting, and industrial automation support. On-site in Perth or remote for connected systems. From a field service tech who works on this stuff every day.
Why a Field Tech, Not a Vendor
I work in field service on industrial machines day-to-day — press brakes, laser cutters, CNC equipment. That means I understand what a PLC fault looks like at 3pm on a Friday when production is stopped. I'm not a salesperson trying to upsell a whole new system. I'm an engineer trying to get your machine running.
I work with programs I didn't write, in environments I've never seen before, with documentation that's either missing or 15 years out of date. I diagnose from first principles, document what I find, and hand over something you can maintain.

Common Questions
What PLC brands do you work with in Perth?
Primarily Allen-Bradley (RSLogix 500 / Studio 5000 / FactoryTalk), AutomationDirect CLICK PLC, and Siemens S7 series. I've also done troubleshooting on older legacy systems from various manufacturers.
Do you offer on-site PLC support in Perth?
Yes. I'm based in Perth and available for on-site work across the metropolitan area and surrounding regions. Remote support via VPN/remote desktop is also available for connected systems.
Can you help with PLC programs I didn't originally write?
Yes — inherited programs are one of the most common situations. I can audit existing programs, add comments, identify errors, and make modifications. I'm comfortable working through undocumented legacy code.
Do you do HMI and SCADA work alongside PLC programming?
Yes. PLC and HMI work typically go hand in hand. I can create or modify HMI screens in FactoryTalk View, and I have experience with basic SCADA configuration and historian setup.
