Your first program in Ladder Logic for Siemens S7-1200 PLC
To create your first program in Ladder Logic for the Siemens S7-1200 PLC, follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the video. Ladder Logic is a fundamental programming language used in PLC programming, resembling electrical relay logic diagrams. It is widely used for its intuitive, visual approach to designing automation processes. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to implement LADDER logic in the TIA Portal software, which is crucial for programming the Siemens S7-1200. By the end, you’ll have a basic LADDER logic program up and running on your Siemens PLC, giving you practical experience!
Add HMI panel and create visualisation
In this PLC tutorial lesson, you will learn how to add an HMI panel to your Siemens S7-1200 PLC project and create a visualization for your automation process using TIA Portal. Human-Machine Interface (HMI) panels are crucial components in industrial automation, allowing operators to interact directly with the PLC by monitoring real-time data and inputting commands. By following the steps provided in the video, you’ll integrate an HMI panel with your Siemens S7-1200 PLC and design a user-friendly visualization interface. This will not only enhance the functionality of your automation system but also improve control and monitoring efficiency.
