Siemens S7-300/S7-400 with STEP 7 Course Modules (module 5-8)

Siemens S7-300/400 (Modules 5-8)
Course Outline

Module 5
The first part of this module reviews the concepts of Function Calls, Data Blocks and Funtion Blocks and includes some more advanced exercises for refreshing on key concepts. The module concludes with a significant amount of material covering indirect addressing methods such as POINTER and ANY data types, memory indirect and register indirect addressing methods.
Lessons
  Functions
  Data Blocks
  Function Blocks
  Indirect Addressing
Module 6
This module introduces the student to the system functions that copy sections of memory. Next, memory concepts in an S7 processor are covered. The student will learn instructions that shift or rotate bits in memory words and double words. All the shift and rotate instructions are covered for LAD, FBD and STL. The student will describe the operation of a Multi Instance Data Block, as well as, troubleshoot programs and create a Function Block. To finish the module Word Logic Instructions are covered.

Lessons
   Copy Functions
   Memory Concepts
   Shift and Rotate Instructions
   Multiple Instances
   Word Logic Instructions
Module 7
This module begins with Clock Functions where the student is shown how to handle date and time in an S7 program.  Next, the student will be introduced to the concepts of the Structured Control Language covering source files, the SCL Editor, compiling and monitoring.  The student will understand the different structures for each block and the order and attributes of the blocks will be discussed.  The module concluded by covering the essentials of programming expressions and statements in SCL.  
Lessons
   Clock Functions
   Introduction to SCL
   SCL Program Structure
   SCL Program Statements
Module 8
This module starts by going over the debugging tools in the STEP 7 software.  Next is an overview of PID control and how it is implemented in the Siemens PLC.  The student will be introduced to the concepts of Sequential Functions Charts (a.k.a. Grafcets) and finally, the S7 GRAPH programming language used for sequential controls is thoroughly covered using examples and exercises.
Lessons
   Debugging
   PID Control
   SFC Fundamentals
   S7-GRAPH Programming
