SUMMARY:SIMATIC Programming 1 in TIA Portal ($3\,850)
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nThis 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. \nTopics:  \n\nSystem Overview\nEngineering Software “TIA Portal”\nTraining Devices and Addressing\nDevices and Network\nPLC Tags\nProgram Blocks\nBinary Operations\nDigital Operations\nData Blocks\nDistributed I/O\nHuman Machine Interface (HMI)\nFunctions (FCs) and Function Blocks (FBs)\nOrganization Blocks (OBs)\nTroubleshooting\n\nPrerequisite: None \nCourse Length & Time: Four days. 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM \nCost: $3\,850 \nDownload Training Details
