Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities

· 4-Mation Logic & Programming: Program, modify, and troubleshoot system code daily using APACS 4-mation software tools.
· Legacy Architecture Support: Maintain and optimize specialized APACS components, including Profibus PFM cards, industrial MODBUS setups, and legacy communication modules.
· HMI Management: Support and upgrade associated HMI systems, specifically Wonderware Process Suite, ensuring seamless data flow between legacy control layers and operations.
· System Optimization: Analyze existing APACS logic diagrams to resolve complex runtime errors, minimize operational downtime, and maximize loop efficiency.
· Modernization Planning: Lead technical readiness assessments for the eventual migration of APACS hardware to next-generation platforms (e.g., Siemens PCS 7) while preserving existing field wiring.
Requirements
· Dedicated APACS Background: Minimum 5 to 7+ years of direct, verified experience configuring and troubleshooting Moore APACS DCS infrastructure.
· Software Fluency: Expert-level mastery of APACS 4-mation configuration software, logic compilers, and network builders.
