LIVE ONLINE · TIA PORTAL WinCC · KTP & COMFORT PANELS · RUNTIME ADVANCED
A focused live online HMI course for machine builders, maintenance teams and automation engineers. Create the HMI project and connect it to the PLC, design screens an operator can read at a glance, build controls with auto and manual mode gating, then add alarms, trends, data logs, recipes, shift reports, user rights and a restorable panel backup.
Online batch 7:30 PM–9:00 PM · Sunday batch 11:00 AM–5:00 PM
See the HMI software, panel hardware and practical engineering topics used at each stage of the online Siemens HMI training path. Select a module to view exactly what you will work with.
Training progression: Module 01 builds the HMI project, PLC connection and screen structure, Module 02 adds the operator controls and setpoint handling, Module 03 makes faults and process history visible through alarms, trends and data logs, and Module 04 delivers the panel like a finished machine with recipes, shift reports, user rights and backup.
View Detailed HMI Training Contents →The HMI course is organised as four practical modules covering 12 TIA Portal WinCC training topics. Every topic below is a written guide you can open before or after the live session — from project setup, PLC connection and screen design through operator controls, alarms and trends, to recipes, shift reporting, user rights and panel backup.
Create the HMI project, connect it to the PLC, build the tag list and lay out a screen structure with templates and navigation that an operator can actually use on the shop floor.
Start a WinCC Comfort project, select the panel, build the HMI tag list against PLC tags and get the first screen running in simulation.
View training topic →02Set up the connection between the HMI station and an S7-1200 or S7-1500, configure tag types, acquisition cycles and check live values.
View training topic →03Use templates, a fixed header and footer, consistent colours and a navigation model so every screen behaves the same way for the operator.
View training topic →Build the screens the operator touches every shift: start and stop buttons, status lamps, auto and manual mode switching, setpoint entry with limits, and a step status view that explains what the machine is doing.
Wire buttons and lamps to PLC bits, gate manual commands behind mode selection and give each control clear visual feedback.
View training topic →02Configure input and output fields with engineering units, decimal places, minimum and maximum limits so a wrong entry never reaches the PLC.
View training topic →03Show the running step number as readable text, display cycle status and give maintenance a fast answer to “why has it stopped”.
View training topic →Make faults and process behaviour visible: discrete and analog alarm configuration, message classes and acknowledgement, alarm views, and historical trends backed by data logs.
Build discrete bit alarms and analog limit alarms, set classes and acknowledgement behaviour, and place a usable alarm view on the screen.
View training topic →02Carry PLC alarm structures through to the visualization side so message text, class and acknowledgement stay consistent end to end.
View training topic →03Create data logs with the right cycle and size, connect them to a trend view and read historical process values during a shift review.
View training topic →Finish the panel like a delivered machine: recipe records for product changeover, shift and production reporting with CSV export, operator rights and a backup you can restore after a panel replacement.
Define recipe elements and records, transfer parameters to and from the PLC and handle product changeover without editing logic.
View training topic →02Collect counters and runtime per shift, present them on screen and export a CSV file that supervisors can open directly.
View training topic →03Create user groups and rights, protect critical controls behind login, set runtime options and take a restorable panel backup.
View training topic →The practical focus is TIA Portal WinCC with KTP Basic and Comfort panels, plus WinCC Runtime Advanced as a PC-based HMI station. The same engineering method — tags, screens, alarms, logs and recipes — carries over to other panel families you may already have on the machine.
TIA Portal with WinCC Basic, Comfort or Runtime Advanced depending on the panel selected, together with runtime simulation and S7-PLCSIM so screens can be tested without hardware. Version and licensing options are explained before the practical topics begin.
No. Every screen is built and tested in HMI runtime simulation against a simulated PLC. Real panel behaviour, download and commissioning are demonstrated live on hardware shared on screen, so you see both the engineering and the field side.
This page is intentionally HMI-centric. It covers HMI tags, screens, operator controls, alarms, trends, recipes, reports, user rights and backup. PLC logic and SCADA engineering are delivered as separate focused programs so each one stays practical.
Yes. Discrete bit alarms are built from PLC alarm words and analog alarms from limit values, with message classes, priorities, acknowledgement behaviour, dynamic alarm text and a filtered alarm view including history.
Yes. Recipe elements, records and data records are created, transferred to and from the PLC and used to change product parameters from the panel without editing PLC logic — the normal requirement on multi-product machines.
Yes. Data logs are configured with a sensible cycle and size, connected to trend views for historical reading, and shift counters and runtime are collected into a production report that can be exported as CSV.
A complete machine panel: overview screen with navigation, manual and auto controls with mode gating, setpoint entry with limits, sequence step display, alarm and trend screens, a recipe screen, a shift report and user login with a restorable backup.
The weekday online batch runs from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM and the weekend batch runs on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Corporate and in-plant groups can request a different schedule.
Send your requirement for live online Siemens HMI training. Mention your panel type (KTP Basic, Comfort or WinCC Runtime Advanced), your TIA Portal version and the PLC the panel connects to, so the screens built in the sessions match your machine. Online batch runs 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM on weekdays and 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday.
Explore the four HMI modules, TIA Portal WinCC setup, the panels used in the sessions and the online batch options.
