Shawn Tierney (Host): Welcome back to the Automation Podcast. My name is Shawn Tierney from Insights and Automation. And in this episode, I sit down with Ryland Pychak from Cleveland Automation Systems, a system integrator house, to talk about all things industrial automation, including how do we get more people involved in controls engineering as well as, like, what are the latest products and technologies people are using. So with that said, let's go ahead and jump right into my interview with Ryland Piechak from Cleveland Automation Systems. Ryland, it's great to have you on the show.

Now before we jump into our conversation, can you start by telling us a little bit about yourself?

Rylan Pyciak: Yeah. Certainly. Well well, first and foremost, thanks for having me as well, Shawn. Definitely appreciate the opportunity. Yeah.

To give a little bit of background, I'm Radom Pyshak, founder, president of, Clearwater Automation Systems, as well as a controls engineer. You know, we've we've essentially been in business for ten years now. And, ultimately, you know, my background has been controls engineering through and through. Actually started the manufacturing floor myself. You know, a lot of maintenance technician role, a lot of day to day kind of supporting troubleshooting equipment and whatnot.

From there, obviously, went off to college, got a controls engineering background, did a little stint at Rockwell, also worked at an OEM as well as a system integrator. And then from there, kind of saw the entire picture of manufacturing and decided to go out and start cleaning automation systems myself. You know, so since then, like I said, we've been in business going on ten years so far. And, yeah, it's been been great. You know, there's a lot of unique things we've come across in the manufacturing industry, and, I'm definitely very passionate.

And it's, something that's very interesting from my perspective.

Shawn Tierney (Host): Well, I appreciate you coming on the show. And, really, that's our audience, the controls engineers, the, really, the automation electricians, those electricians who just really get into automation and do that as kind of a specialty, as well as the, maintenance technicians and control technicians, you know, maybe have an electronics background, a mechatronics background, and then get into automation. And so, really great to have you on. And it's you have a great pedigree. They have different companies you've worked with.

You've kinda seen the industry from different angles, which, you know, a lot of people don't get that get that chance to work for a vendor and a integrator and an OEM and on the plant floor. So what really, tell us about your company, Cleveland Automation Systems. What do you guys do? Like, what was the purpose and found doing it? And and, really, what's your what's your focus?

Rylan Pyciak: Yeah. Yeah. Certainly. So click on automation system is probably the best, you know, term for us as a system integrator. Right?

We typically have various clients that come to us to solve unique problems. That's anywhere from simple, you know, field troubleshooting, simple service calls we get to complex equipment development, a lot of custom automation, as well as a lot of integration. You know? So, really, we work pretty much with every clientele across the board. I would say the main one, pretty much the only thing we don't do is oil and gas.

Shawn Tierney (Host): Everybody, thank you for tuning back in. In this episode, I actually meet back up with Jackie Stokes from Siemens to learn how to use a start drive to commission Siemens drive, specifically the g one twenty and the g two twenty. Although, I'm sure some of the other drives are very similar. And this actually came from a request from a viewer who's who asked that we have somebody on the show us that. And because I'm not the expert, I reached out to Jackie and she agreed to come on.

So I'm looking forward to that. Now we're gonna cover the g one twenty. The g two twenty, we're gonna cover how to change Siemens drives to be Ethernet IP instead of PROFINET. They have Ethernet IP built in, which is really cool. And then we're gonna cover some free training they have coming up.

I will include those links below as well as the links from Jackie below in the description. You should see that on all platforms. And I do wanna reach out to you and ask for a favor. I'm coming up on my ten year anniversary of doing this full time, and I was hoping that you guys could help me out to reach a 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. Now I know a lot of you listen on Apple, a lot listen on Spotify, a lot of you consume the shows over at the automationblog.com, and I appreciate you all.

But I thought, wouldn't it be great if I could hit a 100,000 subscribers over on YouTube by the end of the year? And maybe if we do, we could have a celebration. We could do a live stream, do some q and a. I'd love to hear what you guys thought over I actually started the channel twelve years ago. I was doing a part time to start, and I'd love to know what your favorite episodes were or what episodes what kind of episodes you like to see in the future.

And so if you guys I know even if you're on another platform, if you do have a YouTube account, if you could swing by, it's at insights I a. That's a lot shorter than insights in automation. So I shortened it up, I think it was a year ago or two years ago. So it's at insights I a. Again, if you guys are up to it, I'd love to try to hit a 100,000 subscribers by the end of the year to celebrate my tenth year doing this full time.

And with that, let's go ahead and jump into how to use StarDrive to set up and commission Siemens VFDs like the g one twenty and g two twenty. Jackie, welcome back to the show. I'm so happy to have you back on and here to talk about using, Siemens VFDs inside of TIA portal. Now we've talked about your VFDs so many times on the show over the years, and but we've never actually, like, put one in TIA portal and tried it out. And I had actually had a a viewer ask about that.

So thank you for agreeing to come back on. And just in case, some of the audience members didn't watch the previous episodes where you were on, Could you quickly introduce yourself before jumping into our topic for today?

Jackie Stokes (Siemens): Sure. And thanks for having me back on the show. So my name is Jackie Stokes. I am a marketing programs development manager at Siemens. I work in the motion control business unit.

I've been in the business for, oh my goodness, I'm getting old, like, fourteen years now. So I but I've been with Siemens for about three and a half years. So, yeah, we've talked about, our drives family. I think most recently, we talked about the Synamix g two twenty drive with Ivan, one of our product managers. But, yeah, happy to be back and talking about how to integrate our VFDs into portal.

Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah.
