Online-Training - SIMATIC PCS neo System Training for Beginners (NEO-BASIC)

In this online course in a virtual classroom you will learn how to implement the diversity of engineering possibilities with the new process control system SIMATIC PCS neo in a structured and efficient way. With the help of descriptive course documentation as a online training you will become familiar with the system concept and the general system structure of SIMATIC PCS neo.

In this online training you have access to a cloud-based training environment with the help of "PCS neo in the cloud".You will configure the automation hardware including the distributed I/O with digital and analog signals in PCS neo and test the function with virtual training device. In so doing, you will become familiar with the functionality for processing digital and analog signals in PCS neo.
In addition, you will configure an imaginary model system step-by-step and commission it virtually. You will learn how to handle the PCS neo engineering tools including SIMIT and the virtual controller on the basis of examples and practical exercises.
After completing the training, you will be able to create, operate and test a simple yet technically correct and functional SIMATIC PCS neo project.
Combine your face-to-face course with web-based trainings on our digital learning platform for industry and thus increase your personal learning success in the face-to-face course. On SITRAIN access you will find, for example, basic knowledge of process control technology, PROFIBUS in process automation, PROFINET or data communication with Industrial Ethernet. But also further topics such as an overview of digitization in process automation or an introduction to SIMIT and the Virtual Controller.
