Axel Martinez

Automation Engineer with experience developing SCADA and PLC applications using ACCOL II, ACCOL III (ControlWave Designer), and IEC 61131-3 programming languages. Experienced designing HMI applications, configuring industrial communications, troubleshooting instrumentation, and supporting process control systems. Strong background in software development with a B.S. in Computer Science.

Quickly adapts to proprietary and legacy industrial control systems with limited documentation, independently learning complex technologies and applying them to modern automation solutions.

SCADA Specialist at Insight Global (2026-01 – 2026-07)

• Developed control applications for Bristol Network 3000 RTUs using ACCOL II and engineered PLC software in ControlWave Designer (ACCOL III) utilizing IEC 61131-3 programming languages including Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and Sequential Function Charts.
• Designed and developed OnSpec HMI applications to provide real-time process visualization, alarm management, historical data collection, and secure operator interaction with PLC-controlled systems.
• Configured and managed more than 100 HMI tags, alarms, and process variables while integrating SQL-based data storage for operational monitoring and reporting.
• Configured BSAP communications between PLCs and RTUs to support reliable SCADA networking and distributed process control.
• Calibrated field instrumentation including temperature transmitters, temperature indicators, and pressure transducers for 4–20 mA process control loops.
• Developed temperature control strategies using PID control blocks to regulate PLC cabinet cooling and maintain stable operating conditions.
• Migrated legacy ACCOL II control logic to ACCOL III / IEC 61131-3 implementations while preserving system functionality and improving software maintainability.
• Diagnosed and resolved PLC software, communication, instrumentation, and hardware issues through systematic troubleshooting of control logic, field devices, and industrial networks.
• Interpreted electrical schematics and assisted with control panel fabrication, hardware validation, and software integration during system development
