This course is directed at personnel engaged in project engineering tasks who would like to become familiar with the extended programming possibilities of SIMATIC S7 (300/400). After the course, the participant will be able to structure and create advanced S7 programs, making it possible to efficiently work with STEP 7 V5.5 and thus reduce the engineering phase. The course uses a ‘hands-on’ practical approach to reinforce the theoretical aspects of the training.
- Using structograms as a method for program design Functions, function blocks, and multi-instances (with examples using IEC Timer/Counter)
- Jump commands and Accumulator operations Configuration of Breakpoints as a debugging tool
- Using Error organization blocks to evaluate Profibus slave downtime
- Error management with error organization blocks
- Analyzing synchronous errors with organization blocks
- Analyzing S7 diagnostic data
- Writing user messages in the Diagnostic Buffer
- Each of the above topic areas is backed up by practical exercises using a system model, consisting of the S7- 300 automation system. Working examples are provided and tested out during the course.
This course is directed at personnel engaged in project engineering tasks who would like to become familiar with the extended programming possibilities of SIMATIC S7 (300/400).
- The ability to use MS packages, Windows PC, keyboard, and mouse to include opening and closing programs, locating files, copying and pasting objects/data (text, etc). Drag and drop files, objects/data (text, etc). Use of menus and multi-menus, manipulation of windows within a multi-window environment.
- Must have attended the Siemens ST-PRO1 Course or have had practical exposure to programming in a project environment.
Among others:
Participants will be able to write advanced programs, use program breakpoints to test the program’s operation, and diagnose errors using the Step7 V5.6 software package on S7-300 or S7-400 PLCs.
