What do you get when you enrol on an industrial automation programming course?
Don't be afraid that you will be saddled with complex knowledge that will take you months to master. Nothing could be further from the truth! This course is designed to familiarise you with the basics of PLC. As part of the training, you will be provided with ready-to-use materials that you can refer back to whenever you feel the need to brush up on particular topics. We offer you:
With more than 19 hours of high-quality video recordings, you can watch PLC training indefinitely, consolidating your knowledge or looking for an independent solution to a problem.
Projects in the TIA Portal environment, carried out during the course - through these 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.
Think differently - Program PLC. Siemens S7-300 PLC programming basics, entry level - TIA Portal
Siemens Simatic PLCs are a staple in any industry where machine automation is used. This course is dedicated to a particularly important module family - the Simatic S7-300. This is one of the most popular modules for stand-alone programming. It is distinguished by its high flexibility and modularity and is suitable for the design of stand-alone and distributed systems.
Our PLC course will enable you to master the basics of programming Siemens controllers, even if you have not dealt with them before. Siemens controllers from the S-300 family are so popular that you will find them in the automotive, machinery, food and chemical industries. They are used in building automation systems as well as process engineering and plastics processing. Siemens Simatic S7 is the future of modern automation!
If you have a technical background and dream of working as an automation engineer, but have never had to deal with Siemens Simatic PLC programming, you've come to the right place! After our PLC and HMI programming course, you'll surprise your employer with knowledge that you don't just get from reading academic textbooks.
What is the Simatic PLC programming course about?
The entire PLC training course is designed to explain to you the given topic from the very beginning to the intermediate level. The topics we cover during the training will be useful in any profession where you will come into contact with industrial programming. We have provided you with a large dose of theoretical and practical knowledge about the S7-300 CPU. Why this Siemens PLC family? The structure of the S7-300 controller stands out:
- access to Profibus and Profinet communication interfaces;
- an external MMC card and a maintenance-free CPU that does not require battery power;
- can be combined with Safety Integrated technology;
- SIPLUS technology, which provides resistance to low and high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions.
In combination with the TIA Portal software, it creates a very powerful programming environment. Programming the operation of the Siemens Simatic S7-300 controller is possible in LAD and SCL ladder language, but for programming training you will master the former. In practice, it is used in 90% situations and is extremely accessible to beginners.
The course is taught using the Sorting by Height (Advanced) application, which will take you into a virtual factory. You will prepare a simulator of a pallet product sorter against height.
Siemens S7-300 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 the PLC basic course.
If you have an older or newer version of the TIA Portal environment, you will also be able to do this training. The course programme also includes learning to program on the PLCsim simulator, which replicates the operation of the S7-300 controller.
Find out that programming PLC logic controllers in the LAD language is not as difficult as it seems, and you can master it without paging through thick books. See what a great hands-on course looks like, after which you will get your dream job and increase your qualifications.
