Allen-Bradley PLC Engineer Needed

I am looking for an experienced Allen-Bradley PLC / Rockwell Automation engineer with Studio 5000 access.

We have a folding machine with an Allen-Bradley controller. The clamp sequence often fails to validate unless the operator “double pumps” the pedal.

Symptoms:

Clamp reaches target pressure (~140–150 bar)

Position and pressure are stable

PLC does not always progress to next step

Requires second pedal press to complete clamp

Auto mode works more reliably than manual

This strongly indicates a clamp validation timer / logic condition in the PLC.

Scope of Work:

Connect online to the PLC (local or remote)

Monitor clamp sequence live

Identify which condition or timer is preventing validation

Adjust logic/timing if required (with backup)

Verify correct operation

Additional:

OPC monitoring may be available on the machine (RSLinx / OPC server installed) and may be useful for diagnostics.

Expected duration: 1–2 hours.

Please confirm experience with Allen-Bradley / Studio 5000.
