Learning Journey - SIMATIC PCS neo - Advanced Engineering Training (NEO-ADV-LJ)

SIMATIC PCS neo is a fully web-based process control system with object-oriented data management. In this Learning Journey you will get familiar with the system concept and the general system structure of SIMATIC PCS neo. The training offer aims at experienced users of SIMATIC PCS 7 who already have basic knowledge of the APL or the Control Module Type Concept.
Self-learning modules allow you to learn self-reliant the content that is important for your work with sustainable learning success and at your own pace. Based on numerous practical tasks in our virtual exercise environment, you will prepare yourself ideally for practice during the learning journey.

After this Learning Journey …
- You will be familiar with the system concept and the general system structure of SIMATIC PCS neo.
- You will be able to configure the automation hardware including the distributed I/O with digital and analog signals in SIMATIC PCS neo.
- You will be familiar with the functionality for processing digital and analog signals in PCS neo.
- You will be able to configure a simulated plant step-by-step, commission it and put it virtually into operation.
- You will know how to handle the PCS neo engineering including SIMIT and the virtual controller on the basis of examples and practical exercises.
The content of this Learning Journey is designed to familiarize you with flexible workflow options. After completing the Learning Journey, you will be able to create, operate and test a small SIMATIC PCS neo project technically correct and fully functional.
