SIMATIC System Retraining Course
Description / learning objective:
The Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) forms the work environment for integrated engineering with SIMATIC STEP 7 and SIMATIC WinCC Advanced. In this course the student will learn about the major differences between SIMATIC Manager and TIA Portal, and between STEP 7 V5.x and STEP 7 based on TIA Portal. They will learn how to configure and program a SIMATIC S7 automation system with the "TIA Portal" engineering platform. Participants can reinforce their theoretical knowledge with extensive practical exercises on a TIA system model. This consists of a SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system, ET200SP distributed I/O, TP 700 Touch Panel, G120 drive, and a conveyor model.
On completion of this course the participant will be able to:
- Efficiently use the "TIA Portal" engineering platform
- Configure and program components of the SIMATIC S7 automation system with the TIA Portal
- Perform commissioning of TIA components
