I want to become a PLC programmer INTRO level - TIA Portal LAD programming course
This video training course will introduce you step-by-step to the most essential secrets of programming the Siemens S7-1200 controller. With this course you will learn to program as experienced automation engineers do. Ownership of the equipment IS NOT ENOUGH!!!
The training course is designed to give an introduction to the complete basics. The course is aimed at people who have not yet had contact with a PLC
The training focuses on Siemens' most popular controller of the SIMATIC family, the S7-1200, which has been adapted for small and medium-sized applications.
In this course all topics are discussed based on the ladder language i.e. LAD
The training focuses on the most popular controller of the Siemens SIMATIC family, the S7-1200, which has been adapted for small and medium-sized applications as well as for most large applications. The combination of the S7-1200 controller already with its new update and the latest development tool has contributed to the creation of an extremely powerful automation system that offers developers many advantages and facilitates their work.
In this video course, I give you my skills with experience, because I know all these issues that beginner programmers face. In a few days, you can learn all that it took me several years to learn.

Key information about the course
Additional points of interest
You will find that you are eager to reach for complementary knowledge yourself. On our course, we don't just teach the theoretical basics of programming. We show you concrete solutions, tricks and tricks that PLC professionals use. Believe us that after this training, your employers will be surprised by the level you represent. We will teach you the analytical thinking that every PLC programmer should master.
Preparation for teamwork
Although the work of an automation programmer may be mainly associated with loneliness, in reality it is usually quite the opposite. PLC programmers become part of a team that works together on a single project. No worries! After our course, you will feel like a real professional, discussing the results of your work with managers, investors, teammates. We will show you how to choose optimal solutions that take into account the time and cost required to implement them.
You will learn about the most common mistakes made by programmers
You will also learn how to avoid them and work on your craft. Most PLC courses you will find on the web are limited to imparting theory. We offer you something more - concrete solutions to the pitfalls and problems that beginners encounter while helplessly spreading their hands. We explain how to avoid them and why this is so important.
You will feel like an automation specialist
The virtual factory will show you the typical challenges faced by automation professionals working in industry. You will master the stress of real work. With Factory I/O you will be able to test any solution that comes your way, without the risk of plant delays, breakdowns or causing accidents. With a secure development environment, you learn faster and stress-free.
You learn from the best
With many years of working on large projects, we pass on the best programming practices that you will use in any job. You will meet many other programmers during your career and not all of them will represent a good school of programming. Our aim is to give you the knowledge and skills that distinguish the best. We're not just about teaching you how to program a PLC because that's what you read about in textbooks. By mastering good automation work practices, you will excel with diligence and a creative approach to problem solving.

Software and hardware used
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.
