SIEMENS Simatic Step 7 Basic
4-day, instructor-led class designed to provide a fundamental foundation in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7 programming for PLC systems. The course introduces the Siemens S7 family, software tools, and programming environment, focusing on system configuration, program development, simulation, and troubleshooting. Participants will learn to create, test, and maintain PLC programs using Step 7 and TIA Portal tools, equipping them with the essential knowledge to handle automation projects effectively.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Understand the Siemens PLC architecture, hardware components and system configuration.
- Install and configure Step 7 and TIA Portal software for PLC programming.
- Develop and test basic PLC programs using Ladder, STL, and FBD languages.
- Apply Boolean, Timer, Counter, and Comparison instructions in practical programming
exercises. - Perform simulation, troubleshooting, and monitoring using Step 7 tools.
- Configure and test analog I/O modules and integrate them into control applications.
- Execute a complete automation project simulation (e.g., batching plant) from configuration
to commissioning.
- Engineers and technicians involved in industrial automation and control systems.
- Maintenance personnel responsible for PLC system operations.
- New users or beginners who wish to gain practical programming experience with
Siemens SIMATIC Step 7.
