Description

Using the Siemens S7 Simulation program PLCSIM, this course continues on from the Level 3 course with the introduction of the CPU Clock and more advanced instructions such as Jump and Label. Participants are guided through the development of a ladder logic program that sequentially operates a PLC output using instructions such as MOVE and SHIFT. Participants are introduced to the Watch Table and the I/O Modify functions as well as Digital I/O Forcing.

TIA Portal Test Mode and Process Mode concepts are introduced and demonstrated. Participants will have an opportunity to see how to manipulate Timer and Counter WORD data. The Siemens S7 PII and Peripheral Output is also introduced.

A step-by-step process is performed to upload an operating program from a PLC to a computer. Participants are shown how to Password protect a PLC program and perform Online diagnostics This lesson also gives participants a peek into the complex field of PLC Troubleshooting and virus elimination through the use of practical examples. This lesson wraps up with participants being shown how to update the Hardware Catalog in both Siemens Step 7 V5.X and TIA Portal.

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.
