PLC and HMI Programming with Siemens TIA Portal

Ready to step into the world of industrial automation? This course provides the foundational knowledge you need to control machinery and processes using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). You will gain practical skills in programming Siemens S7-1200 PLCs and designing user-friendly HMI screens from scratch. By the end of the course, you'll understand how to write control logic, manage timers and counters, and create interfaces that allow operators to interact with automated systems, all within the TIA Portal environment. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of industrial automation and the roles of PLCs and HMIs. - Navigate the TIA Portal software and configure a new S7-1200 PLC project. - Practice writing fundamental PLC programs using both Ladder Logic (LD) and Structured Text (ST). - Apply essential programming elements like timers, counters, and basic data handling. - Design and build basic HMI screens with buttons, indicators, and data displays. - Establish the connection between your PLC program and HMI interface for integrated control. - Explore basic industrial communication principles for connected automation systems. The course begins with key terminology and automation principles before guiding you through practical programming exercises. You'll progress from simple logic to building a complete, simulated PLC and HMI application. This course is designed for absolute beginners. No prior experience in programming or industrial automation is required to get started. Start learning the fundamentals of industrial control today.
