The Art of PLC Programming - Modern Factory - S7-1200 programming course in FBD language
In this video training you will learn the FBD language (writing code based on the gate principle known from digital technology). The course focuses on practice, so learning about programming instructions is done by implementing typical functionality from an industrial application. Everything is done using the Factory IO tool (a virtual factory for learning programming) and the TIA portal environment and a PLC simulator called PLCsim (or a real PLC). In this way, you will be able to acquire new skills without additional expenditure on hardware and softwares (you can use trial versions of TIA portal and FactoryIO which have full functionalities). After completing the course, you will be able to configure and write program code for the SIMATIC S7-1200 family PLC and you will be familiar with all good programming practices. I will show you all the steps of preparing a project for an industrial application (from idea to realisation), i.e. a step-by-step diagram of how to do it. The course is aimed at beginners (who have had no exposure to TIA Portal and the SIMATIC S7-1200 controller), so I will guide you through downloading, installing, activating and configuring all the tools so that you can get the most out of the course and gain practical skills. Of course, if you are familiar with TIA Portal and S7-1200 then you will learn a frequently used programming language called FBD in this course. In addition, the course includes the 'icing on the cake', in the form of comments on common mistakes made by novice PLC programmers. It is worth learning from both your own and other people's mistakes. All course material is divided into the following sections:
- preparing the tools -> everything you need to get started with the course.
- Fundamentals of FBD programming -> learning the basics about TIA Portal design and PLC configuration and programming. In this section you will learn, by means of practical examples, the most important instructions and functions which are always needed during programming work, irrespective of the type of machine or application.
- application "Sorting station" -> you will see how to relate, to a larger issue based on the information you have learned before. I will show you that programming is easier than you think. We will start from scratch and end with a product sorting application.
- Homework -> practice makes perfect, so you will be given some tasks to complete on your own.
- bonus -> contains an extended discussion of the previously learned instructions. Plus some more practical tasks with their solution.

Key information about the course
That's right! You use where you want and how much you want.
Going away for a few days, the pressure of a group is not good for everyone to start with. Many people, in the first instance, start with a video course and then opt for a residential course.
This training has been prepared on the basis of the participant using what they currently have. The training explains electrical matters, connections and schematics and there is also a comparison to a virtual PLC such as PLCsim. This is important because the PLC programmer, depending on the situation and location, uses PLCsim or the real PLC.
It's like you're looking at my work, being next to it and listening to the explanations. And you see the result of the work and the written program code on the object (i.e. in the virtual factory that Factory IO represents).
When learning and getting to know the hardware, programming instructions, a trial licence with full functionality is completely sufficient. I will show you how to use this for the implementation of the course for TIA Portal and Factory IO.
It is important that our work is clear and understandable when you come back to the project after some time. In addition to the whole process related to automation and programming in the broadest sense, I will focus my attention on developing good practices in you, in line with the principles created by the IT world.
Training and exercises are essential to consolidate the information you have learned. This is why you will receive homework. Solving tasks and problems is the fastest way to writing optimal programme code.
Benefits of taking part in the course
Sample lesson / What you will do after the course
What is the course on programming the S7-1200 PLC in FBD language like?
After purchasing the course, you will receive an email with your access details to the e-learning platform. There you will find all the material and lessons divided into modules (according to the table of contents). This allows you to complete the course topics at your own pace. You can log in from any computer or phone and complete the course. You mark the completed lesson as completed, so you can see your progress in real time.
Course Content
Software and hardware used
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
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.
What will you be able to do after completing the course?
Graduating from a technical school is quite a challenge and you've probably wondered more than once what to actually do with that diploma. We have great news for you. You will use Siemens PLC programming for a wide range of jobs. You will find that after our course you will be able to change jobs like the proverbial gloves - you will choose what you specialise in.
Wiesz, jaki jest główny problem obowiązującego systemu edukacji? W ogromnej mierze zajęcia skupiają się na suchej teorii, a uczniowie mają niewielkie szanse zdobyć umiejętności praktyczne, tak pożądane przez pracodawców. Nasze szkolenie ma na celu, aby osoba bez doświadczenia z programowaniem otrzymała gotowe rozwiązania, które pomogą jej lepiej radzić sobie na rynku pracy.
Guarantee
and certificate
If, after 14 days of purchase, you find that it is not for you, I will refund 100% of the course price. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate in two languages - Polish and English.
Frequently asked questions
-
Will I receive a confirmation after my purchase?
Yes, you receive an email. Sometimes emails end up in SPAM or other folders. Please check your mailbox carefully.
-

No. The material is the same regardless of the type of storage medium. At the time of purchase, you decide which type of data carrier you choose, i.e. online, DVD or USB.
-
Which PLC programming language should I choose when starting out?
If you are an electrician then LAD. If there has been any exposure to text-based languages (C, C++, C#, Java, etc) then SCL. If there has been no exposure to any programming at all then the basic course is LAD and SCL (the solution to each task is shown in two languages).
