You will deepen your theoretical knowledge with numerous practical exercises on a SIMATIC plant model on which you also take the examination. This consists of a SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system, ET200SP distributed I/O, WinCC Runtime, Motion Box and a conveyor belt model.

This course consists of two days of theory as the ideal preparation for a 5½ hour examination on the third day! Your skills from SIMATIC programming training (courses TIA-PRO1 - TIA-PRO3) will be refreshed and consolidated.
