Dear Friends,

With this course from one collegue to another about SIMATIC TIA PORTAL for both Hardware and Software Side you will get information and for your future business life, you will gain more experience during this course. From this point of view if you are interested with industrial automation sector, specially at automation control area, SIMATIC is one of the most commonly used product in the industry.

From beginning step by step this course offers you a complete walktrough, this is the first part of TIA Portal training series. You will become familiar with the fundemental principle of PLC controller, you will have an overview of the new SIMATIC S7-1200 / 1500 system family, have an overview of the modules available for these systems, understand the concept “Totally Integrated Automation”, be familiar with the programming devices, PC requirements for working with the TIA Portal and the operator interface of the framework.

You will become familiar with the configuration of the training area, be able to establish an online connection between PC/PG and CPU via Industrial Ethernet, be able to use online functions to start and stop the CPU and to reset it to factory settings.

You will be familiar with the difference between local and global tags, absolute and symbolic addressing, principle of "structured programming", meaning of process images (PII, PIQ).

You will be able to declare a PLC tag table, rename and rewire PLC tags, create global data blocks.

You will understand the difference between "real" NC and NO contacts connected in the hardware, be able to program basic binary logic operations.

You will be familiar with the different data types, be able to use basic mathematical operations.

You will understand the purpose of global data blocks, be familiar with elementary and complex data types.

You are going to be familiar with the distributed I/O systems PROFIBUS and PROFINET, be able to explain the principle of data exchange between touchpanel and CPU using tags, set the interface for the touchpanel.

You are going to be familiar with the purpose of temporary variables, parameter-assignable blocks, be able to program parameter-assignable functions and their calls, know the difference between functions (FCs) and function blocks (FBs).

You will be familiar with the CPU startup, understand the principle of interrupt processing, the "Time-of-day Interrupt", "Cyclic Interrupt", "Hardware Interrupt" and "Diagnostic Interrupt".

You will be able to explain when to use which troubleshooting functions, apply troubleshooting functions for STOP troubleshooting, searching for logical errors and to be able to use them for error correction.

At the end of this training the participant will be able to parameterize and test a drive with Startdrive, set basic parameters via Startdrive, control the drive via PLC.

I suggest you, before you start this course, maybe you should watch videos marked with free preview to understand delivery method. if you are a beginner at SIMATIC world, I think this training will guide you during your learning process. Of course it would be better if you have on your side some real hardware equipment or democase to use hands-on exercises. And if it's possible, i think you need to spend at least 5 days to get lectures, and understand technical topics.

I hope you will enjoy this course.

With sincerely.

Caner Sezer.
