Siemens AG is a German multinational technology and engineering company founded in 1847, headquartered in Munich and Berlin. It operates globally with a presence in more than 200 countries, serving industries such as industrial automation, energy, infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare.
The company develops and supplies a wide range of products and solutions, including industrial automation systems (like PLCs and HMIs), drive technology, smart infrastructure, energy systems, and medical technology. Siemens focuses on digital transformation, combining hardware with software and industrial AI to improve efficiency and sustainability across sectors.
Siemens is recognized as one of Europe’s largest engineering firms, with hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide and significant revenue from diversified technology businesses.
The Siemens Industrial Automation Training Course by Robotriq Automation is a practical training program designed to teach students how modern industries automate machines and production systems. This course focuses on Siemens PLC, HMI, VFD, and SCADA technologies, which are widely used in industrial automation.
Students will learn to work with the Siemens S7-1200 PLC, KTP700 HMI, SINAMICS V20 VFD, and WinCC SCADA using the TIA Portal engineering software. The course combines theory with real industrial practice so students can understand how automation systems work in real factories.
Industrial automation is an important part of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. Companies use automation systems to improve productivity, reduce manual work, increase accuracy, and maintain safe operations. This course helps students build the technical skills required to work with modern automation systems.
The course begins with industrial automation fundamentals. Students will learn about sensors, actuators, digital signals, analog signals, industrial control panels, and automation system architecture. These topics help students understand the basic structure of industrial control systems.
After learning the fundamentals, students will move to Siemens S7-1200 PLC hardware and programming. They will learn how to install and use TIA Portal software, create automation projects, configure PLC hardware, and write programs using Ladder Logic programming.
Students will also practice common industrial programs such as:
Motor start and stop control
Interlocking systems
Emergency stop logic
Timer and counter programming
PLC memory and data handling
These exercises help students understand how machines are controlled in real industrial applications.
The course also includes analog signal processing. Students will learn how to connect sensors such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and level sensors. They will also learn signal scaling, analog input/output configuration, and monitoring analog values inside PLC programs.
Next, students will learn Siemens KTP700 HMI programming. HMI allows operators to monitor and control machines easily. Students will learn how to create HMI screens, add buttons, indicators, alarms, and trends, and establish communication between PLC and HMI.
The course then introduces SINAMICS V20 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Students will learn how VFDs control motor speed, how to wire the drive, configure parameters, and control motors using PLC signals.
Students will also learn WinCC SCADA system development. SCADA systems allow industries to monitor and control multiple machines from a central computer. Topics include SCADA project creation, graphical screen design, alarm systems, trend graphs, and industrial data logging.
Another important part of the course is industrial communication. Students will learn how devices communicate using PROFINET and Ethernet networks. They will configure IP addresses, connect PLC with HMI and SCADA, and troubleshoot communication problems.
The training ends with a complete industrial automation project. In this project, students develop an automated system such as a hydraulic press machine. They will integrate PLC programming, HMI interface design, VFD motor control, and SCADA monitoring into one working automation system.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Program Siemens PLC using TIA Portal
Develop Ladder Logic automation programs
Design HMI operator interfaces
Configure VFD motor control systems
Create SCADA monitoring systems
Integrate PLC, HMI, VFD, and SCADA devices
Troubleshoot industrial automation systems
This course is suitable for engineering students, diploma holders, technicians, and professionals who want to build a career in industrial automation and PLC programming.
After completing the course, students will receive a Robotriq Automation Industrial Automation certification. This certification helps students pursue careers such as:
PLC Programmer
Automation Engineer
Control System Engineer
Industrial Maintenance Engineer
This course provides the practical skills required to work in modern automated industries.
