Description: The ESS Integrated Control System (ICS) Division will make extensive use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to implement the ESS controls. To ensure a consistent approach to PLC development, one proposed strategy is to store engineering information in the ESS Controls Configuration Database (CCDB), from where a client application could extract information to generate template files for use by the Siemens PLC development software.

The basis of this project is to take requirements from ICS PLC developers and develop a proof of concept application, using Python, which will interface to the CCDB RESTful interface and generate the necessary PLC template files.

Required skills are: Python, XML, REST. Familiarity with PLC systems would be an advantage.
