Learning goals

• The use of SIMATIC S7 in plants is widespread in many industrial sectors and applications. Accordingly, the SIMATIC S7 technology has proven itself well in its variety of possibilities as a programmable logic controller in automation and is used as an industrial controller worldwide. In this training, the participant can go beyond the basics and familiarize himself with the data types, data blocks, alarm messages, error diagnostics and reference data of the controller.
• The training also offers advanced programming of data blocks such as OBs, FCs, FBs and setting up communication with the I/O module or robot controller. This training enables the participant to control processes via Siemens PLC as a programmer, operator, commissioner, or system integrator, to diagnose errors, to establish communication with the other systems e.g., robots, and to rectify errors.
