Course Outline

Module 1

This module provides an introduction to the training station used during the class with an overview of the Siemens S7-300/400 product. The Siemens PLCSIM software is reviewed and the students will set the PG interface. Students will create an S7-300 project and learn hardware configuration. Next, module status and memory layout and the creation of symbols is covered. To conclude the module, the PLC Simulation software is explored and a key troubleshooting tool - the VAT table.

Lessons

  1. Introduction to the Demo
  2. System Overview
  3. Step 7 Software
  4. Setting the PG I/F
  5. Configuring Hardware
  6. Module Status
  7. Memory Layout
  8. Symbols
  9. PLC Simulator
  10. VAT Table

Module 2

This module begins with the bit logic or relay type instructions followed by a brief review of numbering systems. Data blocks are introduced and then applied during subsequent lessons. S5-type Timers and counters are reviewed and then the clock byte is introduced.
