Length: 5 days
Hours: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Cost: $2,500.00/person
Prerequisites
MS Windows Expertise
SUGGESTED PREREQUISITE: Introduction to SIMATIC PLCs.
Target Audience
This course is for SIMATIC S7-300/400 PLC users who
are involved with developing or sustaining automation
systems and their application programs.
Class Description
This hands-on, highly engaging course is the first in a
three part series which builds basic programming skills
using Siemens STEP7 software. Students will learn S7
project management, program design and application
development. This is an aggressively paced curriculum
covering S7 programming with Ladder logic. The basics
of programming with Function Block Diagram (FBD), and
Statement List (STL) languages are also covered. Key
software tools and best practices techniques are taught.
Participants employ the Totally Integrate Automation
concept by integrating an S7300 PLC, HMI, ET200S
remote I/O station and a desktop conveyor system
connected by PROFIBUS.
Throughout this course participants build and manage a
STEP7 project from beginning to end, learning proper
program structure and documenting. Software diagnostic
tools are used for troubleshooting both hardware and
code. Various instruction sets, memory areas, program
blocks, and libraries are introduced to provide the
student with solid concepts of structured programming.
This course employs the current adult learning
techniques featuring brief lectures followed by multiple
engaging hands-on, task based skills that begin early
Monday morning and continue all week long.
Instructors verify student skills and sign off on a task
completion list throughout the week. At the end of the
week, participants complete an independent project to
showcase and reinforce the skills they have learned
during the week.
Class Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student shall be able to:
- Configure, parametrize, communicate with and commission a Totally Integrated Automation System.
- Program, document, test and troubleshoot a structured STEP7 program.
- Program using absolute and symbolic addressing.
- Use core application instructions to program Organization Blocks (OBs), Function Calls (FCs), Function Blocks (FBs), and library blocks.
- Program using binary, digital and analog processing.
- Create and use data blocks.
- Create and call reusable blocks employing parameter passing techniques.
- Cross reference where and how addressed are used, program call structure, and comparing online to offline programs.
