How Will This Course Benefit You?

This course is designed for students willing to dive in TIA Portal and learn advanced concepts, from machine automation that I have covered in Siemens S7-1200 PLC & WinCC HMI with TIA Portal and Factory I/O to Complete Production Line Automation that is this course.

It mainly covers communication between multiple PLCs, between OPC Servers, between IO Link devices and creating PC Based HMI with SQL Databases. This helps in centralizing machines/production lines and storing past data or observing real time data for better decision making.

Most of the times when we do plant automation, we have to deal with multiple PLCs that are doing communication with each other, or PLCs of different brands that sends data to centralized HMI or SCADA using OPC Tags, or Fieldbus that is linking all smart devices so I have covered all these topics hands on with hardware and software to make you an expert.


Some of the benefits are listed below:

Students will learn advanced hardware and communication with Siemens S7-1200 PLC and TIA Portal
Siemens S7-1200 PLC to PLC Ethernet Communication using Profinet Interface
IFM IO-Link Communication with Siemens S7-1200 PLC using TIA Portal
Interfacing OPC Server (Kepserver) with TIA Portal and reading/writing OPC Tags
Creating PC Based HMI Runtime using WinCC Advanced
Interfacing SQL Database for creating historical log or relational database
Students will be provided with free trial software including TIA Portal, WinCC Professional, PLCSIM and Factory I/O.

Course Summary:

This course is for the system integrators or automation engineers looking to automate machines, production lines or plant on the shop floor. The content described above will give you the hands on experience on working with multiple PLCs of the same brand, or with different brands using OPC, creating Profinet, Fieldbus and using point to point IO Link devices then centralizing the process using PC Based HMI.

This course is hardware intensive and most tasks are performed using physical PLCs or IO Link devices so it’s for all those who have to deal with lots of hardware or automation on the job or for the client, it's time to step up the game.
