SIEMENS S7 Maintenance & Troubleshooting using Simatic Manager
Training Course
Course : S-S7-F-001, 5 days
Course Purpose:
This skill-building course provides students with the knowledge and the practice needed to interpret, isolate, and diagnose common hardware problems related to noise, power, and discrete and analog I/O. In troubleshooting scenarios, students are introduced to basic ladder logic interpretation, which is applied to diagnostic tasks. Students practice these diagnostic skills by tracing through ladder logic instructions in an Simatic manager project.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student shall be able to:
· Communicate with a S7 Processor.
· Monitor and Enter Data.
· Interpret Instructions.
· Edit Ladder Logic.
· Document and Search a Project.
· Force Inputs and Outputs.
· Troubleshoot Noise, Discrete and Analog I/O, I/O Channel and Chassis, and Processor/Power Supply Problems.
Prerequisites:
· Fundamentals of SIEMENS S7 using Simatic Manager (S-S7-F-001).
Who Should Attend:
Individuals who need to isolate and correct problems in S7 systems and make changes in applications using Simatic manager software should attend this course: Communication engineers, IT engineers, projects engineers, electrical engineers, I&C engineers and Technicians.
