Description

Automation Training Hub brings you an interactive and practical online certified course on Siemens S7-300 PLC with excellent content and hands on experience for beginners as well as professionals. This course covers the basics of Simatic Manager and S7-300 PLCs (I'd suggest for absolute beginners to do Siemens Simatic Manager course first if they have no knowledge of PLCs)

I designed this course for beginners as well as professionals to enable them learn PLC Programming on Siemens PLC using Simatic Manager. S7-300 is old legacy system but still in place in many industries.

The course will cover basic concepts of PLC programming, hardware and interfacing techniques to groom students in the field of Industrial Automation. The course will teach students PLC Programming techniques based on Siemens.

I’ll be using S7-300 PLC hardware just to enable students understand the hardware configuration, wiring and troubleshooting concepts however mostly we will be using simulation mode.
