SUMMARY:SIMATIC Motion Control 1 - TIA Portal ($3\,300)
DESCRIPTION:In this technology course\, attendees will program the SIMATIC S7-1500 or S7-1200 controllers in the TIA Portal. They will be able to precisely control the motion of axes with the integrated motion control functions while learning step by step the benefits and use of these functions. After each learning step\, attendees will deepen their knowledge through hands-on programming. After attending the course\, they will understand the interaction of the technological functions. Each learner will be able to select and configure appropriate technology objects\, such as speed axis\, positioning axis\, and synchronous axis\, as well as integrate them into the program. \nTopics:  \n\nBasics of motion control\nSpeedAxis technology object\nPositioningAxis technology object\nHoming and traversing movements\nProgramming with PLCopen\nError messages and diagnostics\nCommunication and libraries\nOutput cam and measuring input\nClosed-loop control and optimization\nSynchronousAxis technology object\nPractical exercises on training devices with SIMATIC S7-1500 and SINAMICS drives\n\nPrerequisite: TIA Portal Programming 1 \nCourse Length & Time: Three days. 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM \nCost: $3\,300 \nDownload Training Details
