  3. NEO-SAFETY - Description

Online-Training - SIMATIC PCS neo Process 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.
