Siemens S7-300/S7-400 with STEP 7 Course Modules (module 1-4)

Siemens S7-300/400 (Modules 1-4)
Course Outline
Module 1
This module provides an overview of the Siemens S7-300 system. The training demo is introduced, as well as hardware and system components used in a typical SIMATIC Step 7 system. Step 7 software is reviewed and students will set the PG interface. Configuring hardware is next and then students will receive insights into determining a module’s status. Memory concepts are covered along with how to create symbols and monitor/modify them with a variable access table. To complete the module the student will be able to use and interpret the bit logic instruction in ladder logic and statement list.
 Lessons
    Introduction to the Demo
    System Overview
    Step 7 Software
    Setting the PG I/F
   Configuring Hardware
   Module Status
   Memory Layout
   Symbols
   VAT Table
   Bit Logic Instructions
Module 2
This module begins with a review of the numbering systems used in PLC’s and then students will learn about accumulator memory; the basic instructions used to move values. Timer and counter instructions for the S7-300 and S7-400 families are covered. Next, data blocks are covered including how to address, edit, create and view in a VAT table. To conclude the student will learn to configure the clock memory byte in Step 7.
Lessons
  Numbering Systems
  Load and Transfer Instructions
  Timers
  Counters
  Data Blocks
  Clock Byte
Module 3
This module will give the student the tools that they need to be able to use OB Blocks including an overview, priority, startup, cyclic, asynchronous and synchronous blocks. Next, math and compare operations using STL programming are covered. The student will learn how to use Function Calls, Function Blocks and how to monitor a specific instance of a FC or FB block called multiple times in a program. To complete the module the student will understand the various types of jump operations that are possible in STL and the operation of the Label instruction.
