PLC: Visualization, process data processing with WinCC and networking in the TIA Portal

Free of cost

by funding

After this course, you will be able to operate WinCC efficiently in the TIA portal. You will be able to edit WinCC projects for machine-related use and, building on this, expand your knowledge of networking with PROFIBUS and PROFINET. You will also learn how artificial intelligence is used in the workplace.

Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Knowledge of programming SIMATIC controllers in the TIA portal is a prerequisite.

After this course, you will understand how to operate WinCC in the TIA Portal efficiently and safely, edit WinCC projects for machine-related use and be able to design graphic images. Building on this, you will expand your knowledge of networking with PROFIBUS and the Industrial Ethernet standard PROFINET.

People with a degree in engineering, electrical engineers, automation specialists, mechatronics engineers, technicians, master craftsmen and specialists with relevant professional experience.

Specialists in the field of automation technology are in demand in many technical sectors. Their field of activity includes, for example, the assembly, commissioning and maintenance of technical systems as well as customer service.

Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
