Explore installing WinCC Unified, creating a project, and enabling PLC advanced communication. Learn to design templates, configure buttons and faceplates, use udt, and manage alarms, trends, and reports.
How to create first new project
Learn to establish communication between WinCC Unified version 20 and PLC-SIM Advanced version 7.0 on an S7-1500 controller by configuring Profinet IP, security, tags, and online download.
Design a reusable HMI screen template in WinCC Unified by building a fixed header and sidebar, configuring a dynamic content area, and linking navigation across overview, alarm, and trend screens.
Learn to configure a faceplate template and create instances in Siemens WinCC Unified, enabling reusable HMI components, tag linking, and consistent, efficient project design.
Create and configure a pop-up faceplate in WinCC Unified, binding a UDT-driven pump interface to the main screen, enabling start/stop actions, dynamic color changes, and data-driven opening with JavaScript.
Learn to configure a faceplate popup with multiple tabs in SIMATIC WinCC Unified, creating separate form status and command pages using local tags, layers, and visibility rules.
Configure a dynamic pump faceplate with multi-color status in WinCC Unified, mapping bits to colors such as orange, green, red, and yellow to indicate idle, run, failed, and maintenance states.
Configure digital alarms in WinCC Unified by setting runtime options, alarm logging, and alarm class behavior to trigger, display, and acknowledge alarms.
Configure analog alarms in WinCC Unified via the TAE Portal, monitoring continuous values with low-low and high-high thresholds, assigning warning and critical classes, and managing acknowledgments and pending alarms.
Configure and log events in WinCC Unified by distinguishing alarms from events. Learn to historize events, log operator actions, and capture set point changes.
Are you ready to master the latest Siemens HMI/SCADA technology?
This course will guide you step by step through SIMATIC WinCC Unified, Siemens’ next-generation visualization system integrated into TIA Portal. Whether you are an automation engineer, PLC programmer, or a student eager to build hands-on SCADA projects, this course will give you the skills and confidence to design and deploy professional HMI solutions.
We will start with the basics — installing WinCC Unified, exploring the engineering environment, and creating simple HMI screens. From there, we’ll move into practical topics such as configuring tags, alarms, and events, setting up trend displays and archives, and applying animations for dynamic visualization. You will also learn how to use VB and C# scripts for advanced logic, configure user management and security, and generate reports for industrial applications.
By the end of this course, you will be able to develop a complete HMI/SCADA project, connect it to a Siemens PLC, and implement real-world monitoring and control solutions.
No prior experience with WinCC Unified is required — we will start from scratch and progress to advanced concepts. All you need is a Windows PC with TIA Portal and WinCC Unified installed, and a passion for learning modern automation tools.
