Key information about the course

Unlimited access (time and number of views)

Of course! You have access without time and place restrictions

Competitive price in relation to classroom training

For many people, going away for a few days and the pressure of a group is not the ideal start. This is why many start with a video course, only to later decide on a residential course.

The course does not require physical equipment (i.e. PLC)

This training is designed to use the resources the participant currently has. The class covers electrics, connections and diagrams, and compares a real PLC to a virtual one such as PLCsim. This is important as PLC programmers often use PLCsim or the real PLC depending on the situation and available equipment

Everything is done so that you get the impression of being in a real industrial plant

You will get an experience similar to observing my work live, next to me and with a detailed explanation. As a result, you will see the results of the work and the programme code in action on a virtual object, represented by Factory IO.

Use of "free" software

As you learn and explore hardware and programming instructions, the full functionality of the trial licence will be completely sufficient. I will show you how to use this option to complete the course using TIA Portal and Factory IO.

Good programming practices

It is crucial that our work is clear and understandable, even when you return to a project after some time. In addition to learning the processes involved in automation and programming, I will emphasise shaping in you sound practices in line with the principles of the IT world.

Factory IO

Typical machine scenarios can be run in Factory IO, and the virtual factory connects to the SIM PLC simulator (or the actual PLC. Programming of the controller is possible in the programming environment (depending on the PLC family), and insight into its operation is available during the online connection

The general idea is to collect input data from the machine via the Factory IO program, which is then sent to the PLC. The program in the PLC is then executed and the results (output states) are sent back to Factory IO, which allows actuators(e.g. motors, actuators) to be started. The entire process is monitored in real time by you, allowing you to visualise how well the machine is performing.

  • Factory IO by Real Games is a useful tool for learning PLC programming through factory simulations. It is ideal for participants of the Siemens S7-1200 PLC programming course, as it allows them to practise their skills in a safe environment.
  • With Factory IO, it is possible to simulate various scenarios related to production processes, such as an assembly line, a transport line and many others. The tool also allows the visualisation of the operation of industrial machines and equipment, making it easier to understand the processes taking place in the factory.
  • During the Siemens PLC programming course, participants will have the opportunity to use Factory IO to consolidate their PLC programming knowledge and skills. Through simulations, the trainee will be able to practically apply their knowledge, test different scenarios and solve problems, allowing for more effective and practical teaching.
  • Using Factory IO during a Siemens PLC programming course is an ideal way to develop skills in a safe simulation environment, which will prepare participants to put their knowledge into practice in real industrial projects.

TIA Portal software

Totally integrated automation is a development environment that combines PLC (programming), HMI(visualisation) and startdrive(drive technology).

The software comes in two versions:
 
  • basic -> allows programming of S7-1200 family PLCs
  • professional -> allows programming of all CPUs supported by the development environment
It is the successor to the SIMATIC Manager package, which has been well-known since the 1990s.
This allows you to effectively and efficiently create designs for control systems in industrial applications. Key features include:
  • drag & drop functionality for symbols, variables, devices
  • readability and intuitiveness of editors
  • intelligent interface for the automation programmer
  • common symbology and data for each device in the project
  • online diagnostics and testing
It is an intuitive programme, easy to learn and trivial to use while working. It provides the highest level of productivity for the engineer. The TIA Portal tool has been developed by Siemens thanks to its many years of experience in designing industrial automation softwares.

CPU S7-1500

They are available in the classic and et200sp housing. The SIMATIC S7-1500 is a modular automation system with medium and higher performance. Different controller versions allow you to match the corresponding application. Depending on requirements, the programmable controller can be expanded with input/output modules for digital and analogue signals, as well as technology and communication modules.

It is a modular solution that contains the CPU and IO modules in addition to the power supply. The CPU contains the operating system and the user programme. The user programme is protected against power failure on a SIMATIC memory card that is inserted into the CPU. The user programme is executed in the CPU's working memory. The bus interfaces present on the CPU allow connection to other programmable controllers. Signal modules (SMs) are responsible for the connections of input and output signals to and from the controlled machine. These input and output modules are available for digital and analogue signals at different voltages and currents.
