This hands-on course is the first in a three part series which builds basic programming skills using SIMATIC STEP 7 V5.x software. You will learn S7 project management, program design and application development. This is an aggressively paced curriculum covering S7 programming with Ladder logic (KOP). The basics of programming with Function Block Diagram (FUP), Statement List (AWL) languages and key software tools are also covered.
Objectives
After attending the course, you can do the following:
Configure, parametrize, communicate with and commission a Totally Integrated Automation System with SIMATIC STEP 7 V5.x
Program, document, test and troubleshoot a structured STEP 7 program
Program using absolute and symbolic addressing
Use core application instructions to program Organization Blocks (OBs), Function Calls (FCs), Function Blocks (FBs), and library blocks
Program using binary, digital & analog processing
Create and use data blocks
Create and call reusable blocks employing parameter passing techniques
Cross reference where and how addressed are used, program call structure, and comparing online to offline programs
