This course is for SIMATIC S7-1500 and S7-1200 PLC users who are involved with developing or sustaining automation systems and their application programs.
This course is the first in a three-part series which builds basic programming skills with Siemens TIA Portal software. Students will learn TIA Portal project management, program design, and application development. This is an aggressively paced curriculum covering the S7 programming editor with Ladder, Function Block Diagram, and Statement List programming languages, as well as key TIA Portal software tools. This course takes a systems approach using the S7- 1500 PLC, basic connectivity, and functionality of an KP700 HMI and ET200SP PROFINET I/O.
This course is the second in a three-part series which increases skills with Siemens SIMATIC TIA Portal. Students will learn to leverage the power of TIA Portal software with advanced structured programming techniques. A systems approach to efficiently programming the S7-1500 and S7-1200 PLCs is covered. Integration and connectivity of PROFINET IO, HMI, and G120 Drive are the central focus of this course. Programming emphasis centers on Ladder (LAD) and Statement List (STL) logic, with an introduction to Structured Control Language (SCL) and S7-GRAPH. Both direct and indirect addressing are an integral part of the course.
The Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) forms the work environment for integrated engineering with SIMATIC STEP 7 and SIMATIC WinCC. The third part of the SIMATIC TIA Portal programming training is based on the knowledge of the TIA Portal gained in the SIMATIC S7 TIA Portal programming courses 1 and 2, including STEP 7, SIMATIC S7,HMI, connection of drives, and PROFINET IO. You will expand your knowledge regarding the reusability of STEP 7 blocks and their storage in user libraries. You will learn how to use the library concept to manage versioning of objects, so called typification and also working with indirect addressing. You will create user-specific blocks for reporting, handling and analyzing program errors. To save the machine data, you will learn how to manage recipes in SIMATIC HMI (operator control and monitoring system). There will be an introduction to safety integrated concepts. You will set up communication between SIMATIC CPUs based on Industrial Ethernet. Working with Technology Objects for Positioning Axis and simple closed-loop control. The comprehensive knowledge that is imparted to you will allow you to shorten configuration times and to react flexibly to the need to optimize your plant.
