Introduction to PLC Programming - S7 1200 and S7 1500 under TIA PORTAL

Abstract

This book is intended as a practical guide to the concepts of hardware and software configuration for industrial production automation using the TIA PORTAL software platform. Thus, anyone working in the field of automation will benefit from reading it, while it has been written for undergraduate students of electrical, mechanical and industrial engineering, as well as engineering students engaged in similar academic pursuits.

This book deals with the use of S7 1200 and S71500 PLCs to control operational components in automated systems, in accordance with current standards. It is a good starting point into the world of Siemens' Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) product range.

The book also contains practical examples and explanatory diagrams of the graphical interfaces of the TIA PORTAL software, which illustrate the programming and configuration procedures and techniques.

Those interested in developing local industrial communication networks to implement centralised and decentralised control system architectures will also find this book useful. It details techniques provided by Siemens that are well suited to programming plans under the TIA PORTAL platform.

It also introduces the reader to Human Machine Interface (HMI) development, covering topics such as hardware configuration, software programming, networking, testing and validation.

This book is an invaluable resource for those new to the field of industrial automation, as well as for teachers wishing to teach and gain expertise in this specialised area.
