Siemens TIA Portal Installation5:47
Register on the Siemens portal to download the four DVD One files and Simatic S7 PLC SIM, then install the standard version, accept licenses, and create your first project.
Create First Project in Siemens TIA Portal10:19
Create your first PLC project in TIA Portal and build a ladder logic program for the S7-1200 CPU 1211 C, then test it with PLC SIM to verify setup.
Add HMI panel to your project9:04
Add an HMI panel to your Tia Portal project and create a simple visualization with a start button and a lamp. Run the PLC and HMI simulators to verify operation.
Installation of Factory IO and first project!16:36
Install Factory IO and set up the simulation environment to begin PLC training with Siemens S7-1200, then connect via TIA Portal and PLC SIM to run a basic conveyor scene.

Variables types - introduction (analog value 0-10V in Factory IO)11:53
Learn variable types for Siemens PLC, from boolean to real analog values (0-10V) in Factory IO. Map and declare these variables in TIA Portal using tag tables and data blocks.
Memory areas - Inputs, Outputs, M9:07
Explore Siemens plc memory areas, including input, output, and M memory, with addresses and tags. Declare boolean and integer tags and link them to physical I/O via the assignment list.

Normally open contact -| |- OR operation (add selector switch in FIO scene)13:29
Learn bitlogic operations in ladder logic, including normally open contacts and the or operation, in a Factory I/O scene, with tag and sensor configuration in TIA Portal.
Normally closed contact -|/|- (diffuse sensor introduction)14:27
Explore how normally closed contacts operate in ladder diagrams and compare them with normally open contacts, using diffuse and retro-reflective sensors in a Siemens S7-1200 project via TIA Portal.
Normally open contact -| |- AND operation (conveyor, switch and sensor in FIO)14:47
Explore normally closed contacts in ladder logic and compare them with normally open contacts, demonstrating practical use with diffuse and retro-reflective sensors in a conveyor setup.
