TIA Portal Master Project (Level 5)

Most of the focus will be on creating a complete program for a theoretical system and doing so COMPLETELY with LAD, FBD, SCL, STL and GRAPH programming paradigms. And of course, a fully functional HMI!

How Will This Course Benefit You?

By the end of this course, you will be able to program Siemens PLCs using ALL of the IEC programming languages supported in TIA Portal.

You will know how to create complete HMI projects using WinCC RT.

At your next interview, you'll be able to bring your laptop with a fully functional PLC program and HMI both running live to actually demonstrate everything you've learned in this course (which will be quite a lot).

Are there any requirements?

Coming into this course, you should already have a basic understanding of PLC / HMI terminologies and basic computer literacy.

If you don't think you're quite ready, check out PLC Fundamentals.

Course Summary

By now, you already know the basics. You know what digital and analog signals are. You know what "PLC" and "HMI" mean. You know what an INT and a BOOL and a FLOAT are. As long as you're at LEAST that far, you'll be able to handle this course. If you aren't quite there yet, I strongly recommend you check out my first PLC programming course which teaches from the most elementary fundamentals all the way up to creating complete solutions with best practices.

For those of you who are still here and think you're ready, you're about to learn Siemens PLC and HMI programming end-to-end and top-to-bottom. There will be some familiar info covered such as alarm programming and HOAs, but we aren't going remedial here. Most of the focus will be on creating a complete program for a theoretical system and doing so with LAD, FBD, SCL, STL and GRAPH programming paradigms. If you've already completed my PLC IV course, this should be a piece of cake.

But no PLC is complete without an HMI, right? No worries! We're getting into all of that as well and best of all - you'll be able to follow along in your own (fully-functional 21-day trial version) copy of the software. So you'll be creating PLC programs, creating HMI projects, simulating both and making them talk to each other. It's everything you need and want to develop a HIGH comfort level with Siemens technology!

For those of you who might not think you're ready, you can always take a look at my other PLC programming courses. There are four courses that take a person from knowing nothing about anything to being able to program anything that walks (or doesn't).

Greeting from Malaysia. Courses content really cover 80-20 as per Paul Statements, for newly programmer, it is really a good exposure to all the IEC Languages supported by Siemens and boost up the confident. Paul really show the real experience by doing like real time/situations programming whereby I can also notice some mistake and need a debugging process. Overall I rate is as 4.9/5. 0.1 less due to connection to the website is sometime not fast enough. :)

Course is really good and taught me how we can do PLC Programming in a organized way and what points to keep in mind while doing Programming on Industrial level. But, I hoped to see some VB scripting to visualize the whole process and to setup some user access system, kind of like a login with user names to get access to particular elements. Also, it would have been really great, if it was added with some elements where it can generate reports and save them. But, rest of the things are really good and the tips from Paul were really helpful.
