Control systems engineers are responsible for the design, improvement and support of systems in manufacturing and processing plants. They work with industrial automation devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLC; PLC), digital control systems (DCS; DCS), supervisory controls (SCADA), industrial Ethernet switches (IES), human-machine interfaces (IPM), variable frequency drives (VFD), as well as a wide variety of networked actuators, sensors and other IOTs. Most of these devices can be connected with Industrial Ethernet copper and fiber optic cables running various industrial protocols such as ProfiNET ™, EtherNet / IP ™, Modbus-TCP ™, EtherCAT ™ and CC-Link.
When a problem arises in a process, the controls engineer is often called in to determine if the problem is with the control logic, the devices, or the industrial Ethernet cable connecting the devices. Control engineers support a wide variety of equipment and processes and need tools to determine if there are issues with the network cable, devices, or their configurations.
