PROFILE:

2.6CEUs (Continuing Education Credits)
This course acknowledges the automation experience of the students and delivers must-know, advanced topics to experienced engineers interested in Siemens SIMATIC STEP7 TIA Portal software. This course moves engineers /programmers quickly into the power of the STEP 7 TIA Portal engineering tool. Multiple STEP 7 program editors are presented demonstrating the flexibility and fully integrated features of STEP 7.
The course teaches Siemens STEP7 Software recognizing the previous experience students have with Allen-Bradley platforms. The instructor has familiarity with AB platforms and software from which they directly relate to the questions and experiences of students in the class.
This course concentrates on STEP 7 software, program structures, System Functions, advanced block libraries and custom block design. STEP 7 engineering tools and programming instructions are demonstrated to guide the student through the development of a realistic application. The course format consists of instruction, demonstration, and hands-on exercises. Students utilize test, debug and diagnostic tools to complete extensive programming exercises.
