In this live online course, you will receive a basic level training in Simatic Manager and its Simatic S71200 PLC.Hardware configuration
Objectives
The Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) for SIMATIC S7-1200 forms the work environment for integrated engineering with SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic and SIMATIC WinCC Basic.
In this first part of the SIMATIC TIA Portal S7-1200 training, we teach you the handling of the TIA Portal, basic knowledge about the structure of the SIMATIC S7-1200 automation system, configuration and parameterization of hardware, and the basics of programming. You will learn how to clear simple hardware faults and software errors in the SIMATIC S7-1200 automation system and to create, modify and expand small STEP 7 programs. You will thus be capable of reducing downtime. You will also get an overview on operator control and monitoring.
You can deepen your theoretical knowledge with numerous practical exercises on a TIA system model. This consists of a SIMATIC S7-1200 automation system, a Touchpanel, and a belt model.
After attending the course, you can do the following:
Understand the fundamentals of the interaction of the SIMATIC S7-1200 with an operator control and monitoring
device.
Reliably operate the "TIA Portal" engineering platform
Create, change, and expand small STEP 7 programs
