If I want to learn *Siemens PLC, what should I learn first?
Thread Content
I’ve always wanted to learn *PLC, but I don’t know where to start. Could someone with experience give me some advice? 300/400 is the main one, thank you
Learn Step7 first, and then WinCC.
It’s better to learn the *basic knowledge first. First, take a look at the basic knowledge of automatic control, and then move on to writing PLC programs after understanding the hardware. Then, for software programming, one needs to be able to use languages such as ladder diagrams or function blocks. Language refers to the programming language you need to learn; for ladder diagrams, you need to be able to read electrical schematics.
For the products from Master Ximen’s household, I personally think one should first study traditional Chinese medicine and then read Jin Ping Mei. You need to first understand the basic aspects of control instruments and systems before moving on to topics such as PLC structure, configuration, and programming. The Ximen family often holds some training sessions, and it’s possible to spend some money to attend them.
