What do you get when you enrol on the Micromaster family drive programming course?
When you decide to attend your first training course in propulsion technology, you may fear that you will be saddled with complex knowledge, and that this will be delivered in an indigestible way. Nothing could be further from the truth! The course is designed to familiarise you with the basics of PLC in the context of safety, so you will receive carefully selected teaching aids:
More than 9 hours of HD videos - you can watch the videos indefinitely while consolidating your knowledge or looking for an independent solution to a problem.
Projects in the TIA Portal environment performed during the course - you will become familiar with the full functionality of the TIA Portal platform and gain a large dose of solid knowledge of Siemens PLC modules. No water and a maximum of specifics condensed into one whole.
Basic course in drive engineering - TIA Portal software
The online drive automation training course will enable you to gain knowledge about the functioning of different types of motors and their individual components - asynchronous motors, braking modules, gearboxes, DU/DT filters, frequency converters and many other components. This is a universal course, after which you will learn the principles of the Micromaster family of drives with the Siemens Simatic S7-1200 controller.
Most industrial equipment uses various types of drives. You will find them in transmission belts or boom arms. However, for a motor to work, you need a converter. This is a special device or system that adjusts the process parameters to meet specific requirements.
No worries! We recommend our training to all beginners who plan to deal with automation but have no experience with issues such as electric drives, selection of drive accessories, contact elements or input chokes.
If you have acquired a technical education and dream of working as an automation technician, but don't know how to get started with PLCs and drives, you have come to the right place! After our course, terms such as gearmotor, ferrite rings, operating positions or operating factor will no longer be a mystery to you
What is the Fundamentals of Propulsion Technology course about?
The course programme focuses on the Micromaster 440 inverter for small applications. This drive family is distinguished by its compact and modular design, which is easy to adapt to the workstation. It also features convenient sensorless vector control.
However, that is not all. The device has a built-in braking transistor and a proportional-integral-differential controller, known as a PID. With its removable panel, the Micromaster 440 can be used with all types of frequency converters.
Our training in drive technology is dedicated to anyone wishing to explore the secrets of programming and optimising the operation of equipment such as machine tools, plastics processing lines or packaging machines. In all of these machines, the Micromaster 440 module and Siemens S7-1200 controllers are used most often. They are versatile and can be easily modified and adapted to handle a specific type of task.
In combination with TIA Portal, it creates a very powerful programming environment. Although it is now possible to program the Siemens Simatic S7-1200 in several languages, the training aims to introduce you to the graphical programming language LAD, popularly known as Ladder, as it resembles an electronic circuit diagram and is extremely accessible to beginners.
The TIA Portal software for training consists of two parts:
- Step 7 module for PLC programming;
- WinCC Comfort/Advanced module for creating visualisations.
The Micromaster Starter app will provide you with intuitive operation, whether you are just starting out with drive programming or have already taken your first steps into industrial programming.
Siemens S7-1200 PLC programming is convenient as it does not require you to purchase any additional software or hardware.
You will be solving all your problems in the TIA Portal v. 15.1 environment, which is just for controlling Siemens modules. You can download it for free from the manufacturer's website and the software will retain full functionality for 21 days. This is far more than you need to complete your PLC training. If you have older versions of the TIA Portal platform, you can also complete the entire training.
So, what, you want to find out that you don't have to wade through thick books written in a complicated language to acquire the knowledge of programming Safety PLCs in the LAD language? Do you want to learn how to create instructions for Siemens PLCs that are both efficient and safe? Here we go!

Software and hardware used
TIA Portal software
Totally integrated automation is a development environment that combines PLC (programming), HMI(visualisation) and startdrive(drive technology).
CPU S7-1200
The new controller, which has been developed as a successor to the S7-200, is characterised by slightly weaker parameters than the S7-300 family. Several CPU versions present in the family allow selection according to project requirements.
MICROMASTER drive
In the past, motor control was based on the on/off principle. This changed in the 1990s where infinitely variable control of the electric motor produced economical results.
