Audience: Anyone needing to maintain or program an S7 system using TIA Step 7
Prerequisites: Basic Computer Skills
Course Outline
Module 1
This module serves as an introduction to the hardware and software of the TIA Portal system and the tools used during the class. At the completion of the module, you will have created a project that you will use for the balance of the class and commissioned either a real PLC or a simulation.

-
- Numbering Systems
- Data Blocks
- Bit Level Instructions
- Timers
- Counters
- Reference Data
Module 3
This module will explore data manipulation. First as a source of numeric data, analog SM modules will be introduced. This will be followed by math and comparison operations. Finally, the concept of reusable program blocks will be explored.
Lessons

- Analog IO
- Math
- Compare Instructions
- FC and FB Blocks
- Trace Function
Module 4
This is the last module of the course! Today, you will have a look at the other OB blocks available, as well as, configure some IO on a fieldbus. Forcing and troubleshooting a system will be covered. Next, we will take a look at the ability to create your own libraries to make programming easier. A quick review of the display feature on the S7-1500 family will conclude the course.
