AUTOMATION - SIMATIC S7 WITH STEP 7 V5
ABOUT THE TRAINING
This virtual course is the first of a two-part series designed for maintainers and “first responders” to Siemens S7 automated control systems. Maintenance technicians, electricians, supervisors and others, who need to develop active skills using their Siemens Hardware system, should attend this course to maximize line uptime. This course also provides a great platform for those new to automation systems and state-of the-art industrial electronics.
This course is designed using Performance-Based Learning strategy which adopts Adult Learning and Development standards and practices. The result is a course with well-defined performance-based learning objectives that emphasize task-based assessments of student performance. To successfully complete each module in the course, a student must demonstrate his/her ability to perform a specific automation task demonstrating the application of automation knowledge and skills. Brief instructor led discussions followed by numerous exercises using a Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) plant model develop and reinforce practical experience. The TIA plant model consists of an S7-300 automation system, ET200S distributed I/O station, SIMATIC HMI Touch Panel, and a working, virtual conveyor model. Students perform visual and multi-meter wire checks using virtual reality exercises, hardware component diagnostics and troubleshooting as well as equipment replacement and restoring a failed PLC system to a normal operating state. Upon completion of the course, maintenance technicians should be able to establish communications to a Siemens PLC system, diagnose, troubleshoot, and restore basic faults on an S7 hardware system, reducing costly downtimes. This course offers 60% lab time and 40% lecture/discussion/Q and A.
