S7 Programming 1 Course (ST-PRO1)

Short Description

• This course is primarily aimed at personnel who program other vendors PLCs and are looking to migrate their skills onto the S7 CPU. It is also particularly suitable for service staff, with a firm foundation of existing PLC skills and practical experience, whose role requires them to carry out programming related tasks. In addition, the course helps those who want a greater appreciation in program design, editing and configuration changes in an Integrated Automation environment including remote I/O, HMI and drives equipment over a Profibus network. Note: For service staff who want to attend this course please contact the SITRAIN UK Training Office before making a booking so that your existing skills and prior knowledge can be assessed. This course option is not suitable for service staff who are not PLC capable. They should start with the ST-SERV1 course.

OSI Soft PI System Overview

Real-Time Information System

The PI System brings all operational data into a single system that can deliver it to users at all levels of the company – from the plant to the enterprise level.

The PI System keeps business – Critical data always online and available in a specialized time series database by:

• Gathering event – driven data in real time, from multiple sources across the plant and/or enterprise.
•   Applying advices analytical calculations and business rules to contextualize and analyze this data.
•    Configuring smart and thin client tools to distribute and visualize knowledge information to display critical operational matrices and integrate the user experience across different roles within the enterprise.

The PI System supports a multitude of the enterprise’s needs, through six core capabilities:

• Collect: The PI System allows you to collect data from all kinds of equipment, regardless of vendor or age of the equipment.

• Historize: The PI System can store, retrieve, and surface all of your collected data with full history over time. The core of the PI System lies in its ability to store large volumes of data for a long period of time, and it allows retrieval of any data, no matter how old, in seconds.

• Find: The PI System is designed to allow you to find the data you are looking for and to organize it such that it’s easier to find next time.

• Analyze: The PI System turns data into actionable information with built-in analytics that allow you to combine data elements together, aggregate totals and averages, and filter out irrelevant data.

• Deliver: The PI System enables massive amounts of information to be delivered to the correct knowledge worker through alerts and notifications that are generated from the PI System.

•Visualize: The PI System enables information workers at all levels that want to visualize and analyze operational data to understand the events and trends that enable smart decisions.
