Welcome to the Rockwell to Siemens Conversion (AB™ to S7 Fastrack)

Descritpion

This course is a "Fast-Track" agenda that acknowledges the automation experience of the students and delivers must-know information for systems migration to SIMATIC STEP7. This course moves highly experienced engineers/programmers quickly into the power of STEP7. Multiple S7 program editors are presented demonstrating the flexibility and fully integrated features of STEP7.

This course concentrates on STEP7 software, program structures, System Functions, advanced block libraries and custom block design. STEP7 engineering tools and programming instructions are demonstrated to guide the student through the development of a realistic application. Analog processing and alarming are detailed through theory and program examples. 

The course format consists of instruction, demonstration, and hands-on exercises.  Students will use test, debug and diagnostic tools to complete the programming exercises.

 

Why you should attend?

 

  • Use the engineering tools of STEP7.
  • Program using the multiple address types.
  • Use symbolic addressing.
  • Test and troubleshoot an application program.
  • Create custom code blocks.
  • Demonstrate reusable program blocks.
  • Use the data access functions.
  • Demonstrate how to process analog values.
  • Demonstrate and monitor data blocks.
