Course description
This module provides practical and technical insights into Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems with a focus on the SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Basic Panel and WinCC Unified software in the TIA Portal environment. Participants will learn to design, configure, and integrate HMI systems for industrial automation using real-time data visualization, input/output control, and communication protocols like PROFINET and OPC UA. Through guided hands-on sessions, learners will cover key areas such as HMI hardware setup, screen design, tag mapping, IP configuration, alarm handling, and runtime management—equipping them with the skills to deploy secure and efficient operator interfaces in industrial systems.
What is in this course?
This course provides a practical introduction to HMI systems using the SIMATIC MTP700 Unified Basic Panel. Participants will learn to monitor and control industrial processes, handle alarms, configure system settings, and interface with PLCs via PROFINET. Hands-on tasks include operating HMI stations, managing runtime settings, and analyzing input/output interactions.
This course offers hands-on training in designing and configuring Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems using Siemens’ WinCC Unified Basic software within the TIA Portal. Participants will learn to integrate HMI panels with PLCs, design graphical user interfaces, manage alarms, configure network settings, and map PLC tags for real-time industrial control. The course focuses on the SIMATIC MTP700 Unified Basic Panel, including screen navigation, IP setup, runtime manageme0nt, and project deployment.
