Every Siemens course on EDWartens, free: TIA Portal from zero, the S7-1200 tutorial series, program structure and best practice, HMI panels with WinCC, organisation blocks and interrupts, PID Compact, commissioning and troubleshooting, Factory I/O projects, the S7-300 installed base with STEP 7, advanced S7-1500, Safety Integrated, SCL, WinCC SCADA and Unified, SINAMICS drives, PCS 7 and LOGO!. Complete, self-paced, with notes, quizzes and an optional verifiable certificate.
From zero electrical knowledge to a working, simulated S7-1200 program, for nothing.
The first three hours of the Siemens TIA Portal course, cut to end on a win: what a PLC is, how it is wired, a project configured in TIA Portal, and your first ladder program running in simulation. Finish it in an evening or two, earn a certificate, and carry straight on into the full course.
One machine, start to finish. Take a bottle filling line from a written specification and an I/O list to a structured S7-1200 program with a fill station, a capper, a reject sorter and an operator screen with alarms, then test it against a written record and archive it for hand-over. The lessons are the reference; the machine is yours, and it is what you submit.
Every S7-1200 instruction, one short video at a time: bits, edges, timers, counters, comparators, maths, MOVE, conversion, analog scaling, jumps and shift registers.
Every screen a plant operator touches, built in TIA Portal: tags, buttons, symbols, numeric input, bar graphs, navigation and templates, trends, alarms, recipes, faceplates, pop-ups, users and languages.
Closed-loop control the way it is done on an S7-1200 or S7-1500: analog in, NORM_X and SCALE_X, PID_Compact configured, tuned and wired to an HMI, analog or PWM out, proved on a free tank simulation.
What the S7-1500 does between your rungs: OB1 and the cycle, OB100 at startup, time-delay, cyclic and hardware interrupts, the error OBs that keep a CPU out of STOP, time of day, and every timer the instruction tree offers.
The site-engineer half of TIA Portal: getting the software, configuring hardware, sizing I/O and power with the selection tool, PLCSIM including the V20 sequences and hardware events, download, upload, backups, firmware, resets, cross references, traces, web server and program protection.
Nine machines you can see moving: connect Factory I/O to TIA Portal, then program conveyors, sorting and separating stations, a filling tank, a queue, an assembler, pick and place, a converge station, an elevator, a warehouse and an analog tank, all with your own ladder.
How professionals lay out a TIA Portal project so it is still readable in five years: modular blocks, FBs and instances, UDTs for I/O, arrays and shift registers, a structured drive block, and two live workshops that clean up real messy programs.
The classic Siemens PLC, from an empty SIMATIC Manager project to a commissioned, diagnosed, running machine.
Beyond the basics: block design, optimized DBs, UDTs, S7-GRAPH, SCL, drives, libraries, software units, multiuser, testing tools and worked projects on the S7-1500.
What an HMI is and how to design one well, then two mainstream tools end to end: Siemens WinCC in TIA Portal and Rockwell FactoryTalk View Machine Edition on PanelView Plus, with WinCC flexible for the legacy base.
The LOGO! logic module from unboxing to analog, clocks, display, comms and worked applications in LOGO!Soft Comfort, plus the S7-200 SMART basics in STEP 7-MicroWIN SMART.
Siemens SCADA end to end: WinCC V7/V8 from project to client-server and SQL, WinCC Unified with JavaScript, faceplates, plant objects and collaboration, and WinCC Advanced/flexible practice with alarms, trends, recipes and PLC interfacing.
Functional safety on Siemens hardware: F-CPUs and F-modules, creating an F-project, PROFIsafe addresses, safe inputs 1oo1 and 1oo2, safe outputs and wiring, E-stop, safety door, two-hand, feedback monitoring, operating modes, global acknowledgement, a complete cell example and G120 drive safety.
Siemens' process control system as refineries, chemical and power plants run it: components and buses, AS and OS configuration, the multi-project, CFC and run-time groups, STEP 7 blocks inside PCS 7, the MotL block and interlocks, custom logic, OS alarms, trends, logging and users, reusable charts, PID and voting, SFC sequences and control templates, and full projects from tank station to compressor anti-surge.
Siemens drives the way commissioning engineers work them: the SINAMICS family and STARTER, projects and uploads, G120 commissioning, BICO technology and command sources, limits, bands and diagnostics, parameter backup and firmware, S120 components and configuration, S120 in TIA Portal with Startdrive and motion blocks, drive safety STO and SS1, and S210 motion commissioning.
From ladder to text on the S7-1200 and S7-1500: setting up the controller, tags and monitoring, data types, maths and data blocks, FCs, FBs, timers, counters and diagnostics, an eight-part SCL worked example, loops with FOR, WHILE, REPEAT, CONTINUE and EXIT, and a time-sliced part counter application.
The new Siemens HMI and SCADA from project to panel: project creation and simulation, screens, layout and navigation, tags, buttons and dynamisation, text lists and visibility, faceplates with UDTs and popups, faceplate interfaces in depth, a complete HMI build, alarms, events, trends and parameter sets, JavaScript, users, languages, certificates and the Unified Comfort Panel.
