Training - PLCs

PLCs, sometimes called programmable controllers, are the brains behind a modern control system. PLCs are industrial strength computers that are ready for service in any environment. It could he a hot steel mill, a vibration-filled metal stamping shop, or the engine room of a nuclear submarine.

When looking for a PLC, you want to buy from a company that has a proven track record of performance and support. There is one company that has sold more PLCs than any other. This same company offers the most powerful PLCs in the world. When you’re picking a PLC, you want the best; you want Siemens. Our PLC classes focus exclusively on Siemens.

S7 Programming I class
4 days (S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs)
Step 7 PLCs are the Cadillac (or should I say BMW) of the PLC world. What makes these PLCs so great? Tons of I/O: up to 30,000 I/O points. Tons of processing power: up to 20 million instructions per second. Tons of memory: up to 512 thousand bytes of data. What does all this mean? It means with the S7-300 and S7-400 you get the most powerful and flexible PLCs around.

S7 Programming II class
4 1/2 days (S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs)
This is where we start to do some high octane PLC programming. We use Statement List, Functions, Function blocks, Data Blocks, Data Types, and Indirect Addressing to explore advanced programming techniques. This is the place to be if you’re ready to bring your PLC programming to the next level.

S7-1200 Programming class

The S7-1200 is the newest product offering from Siemens that integrates PLC programming, HMI development, and networking in one software package - Step 7 Basic. All user program documentation is stored in the CPU, so having an offline copy of the program is not necessary. More built-in hardware functionality within the CPU than any other Siemens micro PLC. Integrated Ethernet, Analog I/O, motion control I/O, PID tuning, and SD memory interface.
