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

Unlimited access (time and number of views)

That's right! You use where you want and how much you want.
Competitive price in relation to classroom training

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

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

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).
Use of "free" software

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.
Good programming practices

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.
Self-solving tasks

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.

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 S7-1200

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.

Key benefits:

  • modular construction The CPU can be expanded with additional I/O, communication and technology modules

  • built-in technological functionsoptimised for regulation, weighing, high-speed counters, telemetry, identification
  • modern programming with new functionalities communication integrated PROFINET (also PROFIsafe version F) and Modbus TCP-IP, PROFIBUS processors, serial (RS232, RS422/485)
  • data security access protection, copy protection, access levels
  • built-in diagnostics diagnostic messages displayed on the TIA Portal, the embedded Web server, the SIMATIC application and the HMI
  • Customer benefits - Proven in many industrial applications- Long-term availability and compatibility- Prepared for use in harsh environments- Modular, easily expandable, scalable
  • Scope of application - Control using central and distributed I/O - Technological tasks

The SIMATIC S7-1200 is a modular microsystem for low and medium performance applications. The central processing unit (CPU) contains the operating system and the user program. The user programme is located in load memory and is immune to power failure. The execution-relevant parts of the user programme in working memory with fast access are processed. The user programme can be transferred to the CPU using a memory card (MC) - as an alternative to transfer via an online connection to the PG programmer. The memory card can also be used as external loading memory or for software (firmware) updates. Connections to the process (object signals) are realised by on-board (built-in) inputs and outputs, the number of which depends on the processor version (the higher the model the more of them there are). The on-board inputs and outputs are specifically designed to support integrated high-speed counters (HSC). The operating system (firmware) additionally includes pulse-width modulated output pulse generators, as well as technology objects for controlling stepper motors. Expansion of the central unit can be realised by means of:

  • signal boards (SB) can be used to extend the built-in inputs and outputs.
  • signal modules (SM), these are available in digital and analogue signal versions.
