TIA Portal Programming 1

This course is the first in a three-part series which builds basic programming skills with Siemens STEP 7 software. Participant will learn S7 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,and SCL programming languages, and key software tools. This course takes some systems approach to the S7-300/400 PLCs, plus basic connectivity and functionality of an HMI, and PROFINET I/O.

 

Upon completion of this course, participant shall be able to:

  • Complete a system hardware configuration.
  • Build, document, test and troubleshoot a structured STEP 7 program.
  • Program using the multiple address types.
  • Use symbolic addressing.
  • Use core application instructions, functions and blocks.
  • Program using the processed analog values.
  • Generate data blocks.
  • Establish connections to an HMI system.
