What will you get from us besides gaining programming knowledge?

For people who have never had a little exposure to programming training before, the S5 course may seem complicated before starting. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our aim is to give you the basic knowledge so that you feel at ease with PLC technology. We have prepared carefully designed aids for you to help you solve many of the problems you will encounter in practice on your own. We offer you:

More than 12 hours of video - you can watch the videos indefinitely to consolidate your knowledge or to seek answers to questions that arise during the course. The implementation of the training allows you to view each process over the instructor's shoulder and makes it easier to understand the issues discussed.

Step 5 environment projects performed during the course - you will be introduced to the full functionality of the Step 5 development platform and gain a large dose of solid knowledge of Siemens PLC modules.

Simatic S5 PLC programming course - it's that easy! Basic level. Step5 software

The industrial automation course on the Simatic 5 controller is designed for anyone who has acquired a technical education and wants to start their adventure in automation, but does not know how to take the first steps in this industry. You may have a great deal of theoretical knowledge, but without experience it is difficult to get a really interesting and developmental job.

This training course is therefore designed to equip you with the practical skills to program PLCs. Once you have completed it, you will learn how they work and how to configure them, and you will learn to solve problems that occur on a daily basis in the industrial sector.

Programmable logic controllers are the backbone of many automation-based companies. They are used in logistics, manufacturing, transport and forwarding or the production of machinery and components. Siemens PLCs are used in conveyor belts, overhead cranes or packaging machines. Their use is so popular because they greatly facilitate repetitive tasks and speed up technological processes.
If you dream of working in the automation industry, want to program industrial equipment, design entire transmission lines or take care of traffic control, this course is ideal for you. It's a big dose of condensed knowledge of PLC programming basics that will make the basics of controller programming simple for you.

What is this Siemens Simatic S5 PLC programming course about?

The course is taught in such a way that complete beginners will gain the most from it. If you don't have knowledge of Siemens controller programming, here you will gain it and consolidate it. You will build your programming skills on the S5-95U Simatic S5 CPU, which appeared on the market back in the late 1970s. Although Siemens officially withdrew it from sale a few years ago, you will still encounter it in many factories.

The Simatic S5 module was available in several base variants with many different types of processor, differing in clock speed, amount of available memory and range of capabilities. Some of the Simatic S5 chips were used in the pharmaceutical industry, providing extremely high precision performance.

This basic course is designed for anyone who wants to understand how simple industrial modules work. It is also a close match to the Siemens Simatic S7-1200 controller. If you are planning to develop your passion further, this would be a great course to start with.

During the course, you will use the Step 5 V 7.23 development environment, a Siemens controller programming tool that you can download free of charge from the manufacturer's website. You can also use an older version of the Step 5 V 6.6 simulator. If you are not sure how to configure the software panel in order to start learning, don't worry. We will explain everything to you.

Programming the Simatic 5 controller is possible in several languages, but for the purposes of PLC training we will be concerned with learning the so-called LAD. This is a graphical programming language that resembles the structure of an electrical circuit with its structure. It is liked by programmers because of its easy and readable syntax and clear control.

What should a beginner PLC programmer in Simatic S5 bear in mind?

Note that the PLC course is about a fairly old module, so make sure you have the right equipment before you start your first training course. In addition to the course itself, you will need:

programming cable (e.g. Amsamotion with authorisation number 6ES5-734-1BD20);
a computer with built-in RS-232 and Windows XP or higher operating system;
format the files on the partition as FAT32.

Find out that Siemens PLC programming in the LAD language doesn't have to be complicated and you can learn it without any prior practice. If you're tired of flicking through thick books filled to the brim with tables, formulae and knowledge that often can't be put into practice, that's great. Sit back and find out why you should sign up for PLCSpace training!

Key information about the course

Interesting additional issues

We give you more than just a simple beginners' course. We will reveal to you the arcana of the work of professionals and show you issues that you have certainly not encountered at school. And all in an accessible format.

Preparation for teamwork

Although you may think of the PLC profession as working solo, in practice you will very often have to coordinate your projects with a whole host of specialists and managers. We will teach you this too.

You will learn the most common mistakes in PLC programming

Many PLC courses teach schematic actions that lead to beginners repeating the same mistakes. With us, you will learn to avoid the pitfalls and find creative solutions.

Feel like a real automation specialist

After our course, you will not be thrown in at the deep end at work. With the Factory I/O application, you will test how the various solutions present themselves and see how they translate into practice.

You learn from the best

We have many years of PLC programming behind us and want to share our knowledge and experience with you. Learn effective programming practices and operate effectively.

Benefits of the Siemens Simatic PLC programming course

You will find plenty of tutorials on the market for people wanting to explore the basics of controller programming, but our training is a whole different level. What a really great course can look like.

You work in peace and quiet You solve all the issues on your own, without the group acting as a distraction, and you sit down to the training when you have the time and inclination. In this way, you learn faster and more effectively.

You gain practical knowledge You are learning how to program the S5-95U controller. It is still one of the most popular controllers used in industry. Convince yourself that it's a waste of time to experiment. Focus on gaining the knowledge that employers need.

No time wasted on notes Our course is delivered in a convenient online format and you gain unlimited access to the learning materials and review them when you want. The content is designed in such a way that you will return to it with pleasure and interest.

You save time and money All learning is done remotely, so you don't have to commute anywhere. You learn when you actually have the time.

You do not need to buy any additional equipment The course is conducted on a simulator, which allows you to visualise the various activities and teaches you how to operate with real equipment.

Each module concludes with practical exercises During which you test your knowledge. This way you go to work with confidence and not just theory.

Feel like a real PLC programmer The training will take you to a virtual factory with the Factory I/O application, where you will see how the different controllers work. Check, test and experiment in the training to show what you can do at work.
