The Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) forms the work environment for integrated engineering with SIMATIC STEP 7 and SIMATIC WinCC. In this first part of the SIMATIC TIA Portal programming training, we teach you the handling of the TIA Portal, basic knowledge about the structure of the SIMATIC S7 automation system, configuration and parameterization of hardware, and the basics of standard PLC programming. You also receive an overview of HMI, PROFINET IO, and connecting drives. You can deepen your theoretical knowledge with numerous practical exercises on a TIA system model. This consists of a SIMATIC S7 automation system, ET200 distributed I/O, Touchpanel, drive, and a belt model.

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. Here you will find web-based trainings on TIA Portal - Basics of programming and data structures in STEP 7 as well as other topics such as TIA Portal - Programming Operations, and many more. 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.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of automation technology.
You can use the online test below to find out whether you have sufficient prior knowledge to participate effectively in the course you wish to attend. If you answer more than 70 % of the questions correctly you are well prepared to take part in the course.
This training course is not appropriate for trainees using S7-200, S7-300 or S7-400 based systems. This course is also suitable for those using mainly S7-1500 and/or S7-1200 based systems. For more information concerning details of S7-300, and S7-400 please see the section called Simatic S7 PLC.
The Learning Membership starts 7 days before the start of the course and ends 14 days after the end of the course. During this period, you have access to all of the more than 480 web-based trainings available
