This course builds advanced skills in control system programming in a control systems environment. Workstations will include the SIMATIC S7-300/400 PLC, SIMATIC HMI, SINAMICS drive system
and both PROFIBUS and Ethernet networks.
You will be challenged with a number of advanced programming techniques including data management routines, advanced system functions, new program efficiency tools and error handling. Advanced level blocks, functions, tools and libraries are discussed and demonstrated.
Objectives
After attending the course, you can:
Efficiently apply data block (DBs)
Efficiently use the various data types
Manage complex program errors
Build and manage recipes with SIMATIC HMI
Understand the advantages of each networking type
Set up a basic Ethernet network.
Understand the optional program editors and their advantages
Theoretical knowledge will be deepened with numerous practical exercises on a TIA system model. This consists of a SIMATIC S7-300 automation system, a SIMATIC HMI operator control and a conveyor model.
Prerequisites
PRO2 course or equivalent basic knowledge of automation systems.
Note
In this course, the SIMATIC S7-300 automation system and the SIMATIC STEP 7 V5.x software are used. Redundant systems SIMATIC S7-400H are not covered here.
