Siemens WinCC training: HMI and SCADA in TIA Portal
A visualisation course for PLC programmers and integrators: Basic and Comfort panels, WinCC Unified, screens, alarms, recipes, users and communication with the S7-1200/S7-1500, all tested in simulation. SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) and HMI panels are the operator interface of every machine. SIMATIC WinCC in TIA Portal covers both: an operator panel for a single machine and a WinCC SCADA system for control and monitoring of a whole line. You learn the WinCC basics first, then build screens, alarms and trends that display real-time data from the PLC, the same way you would on a real SCADA system project.
KTP Basic and Comfort panels
Programming TP/KTP Basic panels and Comfort panels in WinCC: screen templates, navigation, tags and connection to the PLC.
WinCC Unified
The new generation of Siemens visualisation: Unified panels, dynamic objects, scripts and styles.
Alarms, recipes and users
A complete alarm handling system, recipe management for parameter sets and user administration with authorisations.
Process visualisation and best practice
Animated graphics, trends, I/O fields and the practical tips that make an HMI readable for the operator.
