The training is a good basis for more specialized and in-depth training within Simatic. We are going through the programming tool Step 7. The training provides knowledge of the electrical and mechanical structure of the control system, as well as hardware configuration and program management where we go through logic functions, speech processing and analog value handling. We walk through the system information and diagnostic tools for quick troubleshooting and learn how to use different data types for memory management and archiving. We also review communication via MPI- the interface and communication with Profibus DP.
As a part of this training, you will receive free trial to the digital learning platform SITRAIN access. This gives you access to many web-based training courses 7 days before the start of the course and the test period ends automatically 14 days after the end of the course.
The training is aimed at those who have experience in planning, programming and commissioning of control systems.
