  3. NEO-SAFETY - Description

Online-Training - SIMATIC PCS neo Safety (NEO-SAFETY)

  • In this course you will learn how to create a PCS neo compliant fail-safe application with CFC, experiencing a perfect combination of theory and practical exercises.

    The theoretical parts of the training are supported by practical exercises. These are carried out on CPU 410-5H fail-safe automation systems with fail-safe communication (PROFIsafe) and fail-safe signal modules. The training environment of the online course is virtually recreated with "PCS neo in the cloud" and "SIMIT".

Objectives

  • After attending the course, you can do the following:
    • Raise your awareness of the Machinery Directive and relevant standards
    • Select and configure fail-safe hardware according to your functional safety requirements
    • Commission fail-safe SIMATIC controllers
    • Configure safety-related functions and determine and set safety-relevant times
    • Perform diagnostics and troubleshooting in fail-safe systems and programs

  • You will deepen your theoretical knowledge through numerous practice-oriented exercises in our virtual exercise environment.

Note

  • - Course language is English

  • After completing the "SIMATIC PCS neo Safety (NEO-SAFETY)" course, you can take the optional theory test:
  • => Online eTest zum Kurs SIMATIC PCS neo Safety

  • In this theoretical course assessment we request the taught content and the learning objectives from the “PCS neo Safety” course.
  • After passing the test, you will receive a confirmation of successful participation in the course. This is one of the requirements for the further certification path at TÜV.


  • Included in the course price:

  • Free access to the digital learning platform SITRAIN access – starting one week before the start of the course until two weeks after the end of the course. With the Learning Membership, you can deepen or repeat the content of this Learning Event as well as continue your education on other interesting topics.
