Industrial Automation Internship Project at Hyundai Trans Kazakhstan
This project presents the results of an industrial automation internship at Hyundai Trans Kazakhstan, one of the major automotive manufacturing plants in Kazakhstan. The main objective of the project was to gain hands-on experience with PLC-based control systems, HMI development, and real industrial automation equipment used in car production.
During the internship, I worked with Siemens S7-300 and S7-1200 PLCs using TIA Portal, assembled and wired control panels, connected inductive and photoelectric sensors, and implemented control logic for start, stop, and emergency stop functions. A key task was the development of a conveyor belt control system, including motor control, sensor-based detection, and safe operation logic.
Special attention was given to HMI development using LS Electric (Korea) XP Builder. I designed operator screens for conveyor control, system status visualization, and alarm indication. The HMI allowed real-time monitoring of motor operation, sensor signals, and system states, providing clear and intuitive interaction between the operator and the automation system.
Highlights:
- PLC Programming: Development of ladder logic for conveyor control using Siemens S7 PLCs.
- HMI Development: Design of operator interfaces using LS Electric XP Builder (Korea) for monitoring and control.
- Electrical Assembly: Wiring of control cabinets, relays, contactors, and motor control circuits.
- Industrial Practice: Real-world experience with automation systems in automotive manufacturing.
