A step-by-step approach to Counter configuration.
Configuring Counters. Demonstration17:07
A full demonstration showing Counter configuration.
Programming and Using Comparator Instructions5:08
This lesson explains the usage and configuration of Comparators as used in the Siemens TIA system. It is so important to be familiar with these instructions as they are widely used in PLC programming
Programming Comparator Instructions. Demonstration11:20
Shown here is a practical Demonstration on how to configure these instructions. If you become confident using these instructions, it will make programming a lot easier for you.
Programming Using Maths Instructions15:45
This lesson explains to you and shows you in detail how to use Maths Instructions. These are extremely useful and popular for any mathematical function such as production figures or losses. This is another useful tool in your armoury.
Programming Quiz. Bit instructions, Timers and Counters. Test your Knowledge
Programming Quiz 2: Comparator and Maths Instructions. Test your Knowledge

Requirements

Definitely computer literacy. Knowledge of PLC's in general and knowledge of Siemens systems in particular is a distinct advantage but not a requirement.

Description

This course covers the Siemens S7 PLC Training using the TIA Portal is for any of you who may have used or had exposure to other PLC systems but with little or no exposure to the Siemens TIA Portal.

I shall be your instructor during this training and I have had many years practical experience creating projects and programming PLC's, HMI's, commissioning and face-to-face training. I also possess a SAQA Further Education and Training Certificate Measurement, Control and Instrumentation. This is South African but recognized in many countries internationally.

I will show you how to create a project and use programming techniques utilizing the more commonly used instructions.

Who Should Take This Course?

This Siemens S7 PLC Training using the TIA Portal course is designed as a course for users who have had very little exposure to Siemens PLC systems
This course is also strongly recommended if you wish to improve your programming knowledge.
This course will give you the knowledge and confidence to create and program a working project.

Listed below are some of the topics I will cover with you in this course.

Creating a project.
Using the different Function block types.
Setting up and navigating the software.
How the program flow within a project behaves.
You will learn how to program a ladder routine using the most popular instructions such as Bits, Timers, Counters, and many others.
Establishing communication between the PLC and the computer.

This is just a short description explaining what you will learn but there is a lot more that you will learn if you take the Siemens S7 PLC Training using the TIA Portal.

There are a number of quizzes that you can complete after each section to help you reinforce your knowledge and gain confidence using the software. There are also some practical labs for you to complete.

At the end of the course, you will feel confident creating and running a project, interrogating an existing project and carrying out necessary changes to a running operation.

The majority of the course consists of video tutorials where I will explain all the different aspects of the Siemens PLC system and demonstrate the use of the software for each of these aspects.

The more you can use the software, the better you will be.

So if you are really serious about learning Siemens S7 PLC Training using the TIA Portal and you have reasonable knowledge of the software, then this course is for you. Enrol on this course and you can be learning Today.

Who this course is for:

Instrument and Control System technicians and engineers.
Anyone who has experience of Siemens Systems but wishes to advance their knowledge.
PLC Programmers of other PLC manufacturers who wish to gain knowledge on Siemens.
