Online Siemens PLC training for S7-1200, S7-1500, TIA Portal, ladder logic, IO mapping and commissioning basics.
Start Today!
This course is intentionally PLC-centric. It is for learners who need to become productive with S7-1200/S7-1500 control engineering in TIA Portal before adding HMI, SCADA or reporting layers. The learning sequence starts with device configuration and addressing, then moves into reusable program structure, analog processing, interlocks, sequences and fault diagnostics.
CPU/module selection, device configuration, PROFINET interface, compile/download and online connection.
Elementary/complex data types, symbolic vs absolute addressing, OB/FC/FB/DB and reusable blocks.
NO/NC concepts, latching, timers, counters, interlocks, state sequences and manual/auto design.
Raw-value scaling, limits, PID mapping concepts, watch/force workflow, diagnostic buffer and communication checks.
Choose only the level required for your current role, or combine levels for a complete progression. Confirm the current batch timing, fee, software version and practical support before enrolment.

Develop a PLC-controlled conveyor or process station with mapped digital/analog I/O, manual and automatic modes, permissives, alarms, reusable FB/DB structure and a documented commissioning checklist. The final project should be understandable from PLC tags and block interfaces without depending on HMI graphics.
CPU/module selection, device configuration, PROFINET interface, compile/download and online connection.
Elementary/complex data types, symbolic vs absolute addressing, OB/FC/FB/DB and reusable blocks.
NO/NC concepts, latching, timers, counters, interlocks, state sequences and manual/auto design.
Raw-value scaling, limits, PID mapping concepts, watch/force workflow, diagnostic buffer and communication checks.
For the complete four-level Softwell program, use the main Industrial Automation Training page. This page stays focused on Online Siemens PLC Training.
Create the device, define PLC tags, choose symbolic addressing, separate program responsibility into OB/FC/FB/DB, and compile before online testing.
Practise Boolean logic, edge handling, timers, counters, analog scaling, interlocks and state sequences until the online status can be explained without relying on an HMI.
Use watch tables, diagnostic buffer, module status and documented I/O checkout to prove whether a fault belongs to hardware, address mapping, logic or network configuration.
Assessment is based on engineering evidence rather than screen screenshots alone. The learner should be able to explain the tag path, configuration choices, fault conditions and commissioning sequence for the project.
Hardware/software configuration, tag structure and documented parameters.
Online status, diagnostics, alarms/trends or device feedback relevant to this course.
A repeatable method for finding and correcting at least one realistic fault.
Use a PLC-first diagnostic method: verify module/device status, inspect the physical address and tag, confirm the block call path, check permissives and sequence state, then use online monitoring to isolate whether the issue is field wiring, logic, data type, network device or program-state related.
The subject is taught as an engineering workflow with configuration, practical operation, diagnostics and documentation. Learners can connect the focused skill to broader Softwell modules later without repeating the same generic syllabus on every page.
The practical focus is S7-1200/S7-1500 engineering in TIA Portal, with transferable concepts for Siemens PLC project structure and diagnostics.
No. This page deliberately keeps the learning intent PLC-centric. HMI and SCADA have separate focused pages.
They define program organization, data ownership and reuse. Correct block structure makes commissioning and later troubleshooting much easier.
Yes. Raw values, engineering units, limits and online diagnostic methods are part of the PLC-focused path.
Mapped I/O, manual/auto behavior, reusable program structure, interlocks, analog handling and a documented commissioning process.
Send your requirement for classroom, online, corporate or in-plant training. Softwell Automation can customize examples for Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi, Schneider, ABB, Delta and Industry 4.0 project requirements.
