SIEMENS PLC S7300, 400 and 1200 Software and Troubleshooting (Advanced)
Course Description
This 5 days course is designed to benefit the participants with practical up-to-date information on the application of PLC's to the automation and process control of plants and factories. It is introducing the configuration & troubleshooting aspects of Siemens PLC S7 series. It aims to give practical advice from experts in the field, to assist correctly plan, programme and install a PLC with a shorter learning curve and more confidence.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

While this course is ideal for engineers who are new to PLCs, much of the contents and additional material in the extensive manual will be of value to those who already have the basic skills, but need a wider perspective for larger and more challenging tasks ahead.

The information contained in this course advances from the basics to challenge even the most experienced engineer in the industry today.

The course is supported by Video demonstrating PLC Programming techniques.

Training Objective

This course aims to enable the participants to:

  • Identify and explain the main design characteristics, internal architecture and operating principles of programmable logic controllers.
  • Describe and identify the characteristics of commonly used input and output devices. 
  • Explain the processing of inputs and outputs by PLCs. 
  • Describe communication links involved with PLC systems, the protocols and networking methods.
  • Develop ladder and function programming for the logic functions AND, OR, NOR, NAND, NOT and XOR. 
  • Develop ladder programs involving internal relays, timers, counters, shift registers, sequencers and data handling.
  • Identify the parts of an electrical machine control diagram including rungs, branches, rails, contacts, and loads.
