Description

This course will teach you the basics about working with Siemens ProfiNet devices. ProfiNet is an industrial communications protocol used primarily by Siemens devices. It is designed to be a replacement for the older ProfiBus protocol used by older hardware.

In this course, you'll learn how to work with ProfiNet devices, including PLCs, Distributed I/O Modules, HMIs, and more. You'll also learn how to utilize an MMC memory card to accomplish tasks such as programming a PLC and assigning a device name to a device without using a computer.

You will be guided through performing tasks in TIA Portal, the programming software used to program most Siemens devices. The tips and tricks in this video will help you to work smarter and accomplish more in less time. Are you ready to learn? This course combines lecture style learning with hands-on activities so you can follow-along and learn through experience.

Jake Watkins

Since I started training a few months ago, I can see there’s been a huge difference in how much more efficiently and effectively I can handle PLC repairs in the field. Our clients are telling management how happy they are to get back online more quickly and save money because I’m turning around faster fixes. I definitely recommend it for anyone who needs PLC training at any level.

Mario Flores

I needed to get up to speed on working with Siemens PLC equipment and came across RealPars training on YouTube. I watched my first video and immediately went to the website and signed up as a student. I like the way information is explained step-by-step and that it’s broken down into small chunks…I can go back and review anytime I want. I’m already seeing that I can perform repairs faster and with more confidence. Three of my co-workers were so impressed, they signed up for RealPars, too.
