What do you get when you enrol on the S7-1200f controller programming course?
When you decide to attend your first PLC training course, you may be worried 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 a safety context, so you will receive carefully selected teaching aids:
More than 11 hours of HD video - you can watch the videos unlimited, 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.
I want to become a PLC Safety programmer basic level - TIA Portal software
Simatic PLCs are a staple in any industry where machine automation is used. This course is dedicated to a particularly important family of modules - the Simatic S7-1200F. In your theoretical classes, you've no doubt heard that these are extremely flexible controllers that, by executing a Failsafe program, can perform standard and safety operations
Our PLC course will enable you to master the basics of programming Siemens controllers, even if you have not dealt with them before. You will gain practical knowledge that you will use in your daily work. The course is also designed to give you knowledge on safety assurance and certification of both individual process lines and entire machines.
If you have obtained a technical degree and dream of working as an automation engineer, but don't know how to get started with Failsafe PLCs, you've come to the right place! After our Simatic PLC programming course, you will surprise your employer with your knowledge and out-of-the-box approach.
What is the Siemens Simatic PLC programming course about?
Our PLC programming course is designed to make sure you understand everything even if you have never dealt with Safety hardware before. The possibilities of Failsafe controllers are many, so on the course you will learn the ones that come up most often in practice.
The topics discussed during the training will be useful in any profession where you will come into contact with industrial programming. It doesn't matter whether you want to become a traffic controller, design industrial robots or supervise work in a factory.
Knowing how to program Siemens Simatic PLC logic controllers will help you to better understand the relationships that occur between components. Safety controllers are additional safety features that control safety curtains, emergency stop switches, door opening and locking sensors, among others. In this PLC programming course you will learn how to create protocols and optimise them.
This PLC training course focuses on one of Siemens' most popular controllers, the S7-1200, which when combined with the TIA Portal environment 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 design diagram and is extremely accessible to beginners.
Programming Siemens S7-1200 PLCs is convenient because it does not require you to purchase any additional software or hardware. You will solve 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 remain fully functional 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.
The TIA Portal module that you will use in this training consists of two parts - Step7 for PLC programming and the Safety Basic add-on for managing safety functions.
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!

Sample lesson / What you will do after the course
What is the Siemens Simatic S7 controller programming training in the TIA Portal environment?
This Siemens Simatic S7-1200 PLC training course consists of five parts, each of which is dedicated to different blocks of topics. Once you have completed all of them, you will be able to safely program PLC modules and use them in your daily work to increase the safety of workers interacting with automatically operating machines.
Failsafe procedures are unfortunately still one of the most neglected elements in machine automation programming. To beginners, it sometimes seems as if a PLC-controlled machine is capable of predicting the consequences of individual work steps on its own, or that situations endangering the health and lives of employees are extremely rare.
In practice, the opposite is true. It only takes one incorrectly entered command or a moment of inattention on the part of the operator for a tragedy to occur. That is why our course prepares machine automation specialists from the complete basics through every element of operating the environment to practising theoretical situations in a virtual factory. You will gain a complete knowledge of how to handle the various types of data, variables, assessing CPU efficiency and performance, right through to visualising your designs.
Once you have completed all modules, you will have a working knowledge of safely programming Failsafe controllers that you can use in your everyday duties. You will find that theoretical knowledge is not everything and that PLCs can be simple to use.

Software and hardware used
CPU S7-1200F
SIMATIC Safety Integrated represents the seamless and convenient integration of safety technology into standard automation applications. That is, one controller, one engineer, one communication for standard and trouble-free automation.
TIA Portal software
Totally integrated automation is a development environment that combines PLC (programming), HMI(visualisation) and startdrive(drive technology).
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
