Siemens safety PLC programming course: S7-1200F and S7-1500F in TIA Portal
Functional safety training for automation engineers and machine builders: fail-safe controllers, F-DI and F-DO modules, the LSafe library, PROFIsafe and safe drives, with simulators and practical exercises. With SIMATIC Safety one Siemens F-CPU runs both the standard program and the fail-safe program. You learn how the safety program is kept separate from the standard code, how e-stop and guard door functions are programmed, how safe outputs and safe drive functions switch off the hazard and how to test the safety functions before the machine is handed over.
Fail-safe PLC configuration
S7-1200F and S7-1500F configuration, F-DI and F-DO modules, 1oo1 and 1oo2 evaluation, short-circuit test and safety I/O diagnostics in the program.
Emergency stop and safety doors
ESTOP1, SFDOOR and protective doors with lock, implemented with the LSafe library and tested in practice.
TIA Selection Tool and PROFIsafe
Safety assessment with TIA Selection Tool and PROFIsafe communication between the F-CPU and distributed safety I/O.
SINAMICS G120 in safe mode
Integration of SINAMICS G120 drives with STO and other safety functions, the way it is done on real machines.
