Automation of Industrial Mixing - PLC

Job ID: 39998799

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

PLC Programmer for Mixing System Automation with PID Control (TIA Portal, VirtualMakTCP v820)

Description:
I need an experienced PLC programmer to automate an industrial mixing process using Siemens TIA Portal and VirtualMakTCP version 820. The core requirement is implementing a PID control loop for temperature regulation as detailed in the project documentation.

Key Tasks:

Program the complete automated sequence:

Start and filling of Tanks 1 & 2 (valves B1, B2)

Transfer mixture to Tank 3 (valves B3, B4) when levels are reached

PID temperature control in Tank 3

Discharge mixture (valve B5) after maintaining setpoint temperature

System reset when Tank 3 is empty

Critical PID Implementation:

Normalize and scale analog temperature input (PV) and heater output

Configure and tune PID Compact block for precise temperature control

Achieve stable performance with minimal overshoot and fast settling time

Document PID tuning method (Kp, Ti, Td parameters)

Software (Mandatory):

Siemens TIA Portal (V16 or compatible)

VirtualMakTCP Simulator version 820

Deliverables:

Fully functional TIA Portal project file

PDF printout of the complete Ladder program

Demonstration video (max 5 minutes) showing system operation and PID performance

Deadline: November 28, 2025
Budget: $45 - $50 USD (Fixed)

Required Skills:

Siemens TIA Portal

Ladder Logic (KOP)

PID Control

Analog Signal Scaling

VirtualMakTCP

How to Apply:
Please confirm in your proposal:

Your specific experience with PID Compact block and analog I/O in TIA Portal

Your access to Siemens TIA Portal V16 and VirtualMakTCP version 820

Your ability to meet the November 28, 2025 deadline

I prioritize on-time delivery over exceptional quality for this project. Only apply if you can complete all requirements by the deadline.
