Step5 basic course
Course type
Siemens STEP5
Introduction
STEP5 basic course for the SIMATIC S5-90 / 95/100/115/135 and 155U.
Target audience
Employees working with SIMATIC S5 controllers. For example, programmers, installers, service and maintenance staff or other PLC users.
Foreknowledge
Some knowledge of industrial automation and electrical engineering.
Course goal
The aim of this course is to enable the participants to understand the structure and operation of an S5 PLC and to create and test simple links with the STEP 5 programming software. You will expand your hardware and software troubleshooting skills and learn how to troubleshoot. Another focus of the course is to teach your skills to modify an existing program and deepen your theoretical knowledge. After this training, you will be able to track down and eliminate errors.
