Siemens S7-1200 PLC and HMI Advanced course

“Rajvir is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered.”

Mohammad Alharbi, Student
What you will learn

The skills that separate a PLC beginner from an automation engineer.

Each topic is built around a real device you will meet on the plant floor.

01

Structure your program

Use Structs and UDTs to write PLC programs that are easier to scale and maintain.

02

Read RFID over IO-Link

Interface an RFID reader with the S7-1200 through an IO-Link master.

03

Control a smart light

Drive a SmartLight signal tower from the PLC over IO-Link.

04

Count fast with encoders

Use the high-speed counter instruction to read an encoder.

05

Diagnose your network

Read PROFINET device status and use the Siemens web server.

06

Build smarter HMIs

Use scripts and layouts, and log in to the HMI with an RFID tag.

FAQs

Questions before you start?

Do I need real hardware?

An S7-1200 is recommended and an IO-Link master is optional. You can practise much of the PLC programming with PLCSIM, while the RFID, SmartLight and encoder lessons need those devices to follow along hands-on.

Will I get instructor support?

Yes. Every lesson has a comment section for your questions. If a query cannot be resolved there, Rajvir offers free screen-sharing sessions.

Can I learn on my phone?

Yes. Use the Teachable app on Android or iOS, sign in with your account and save videos for offline access.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. You receive a unique completion certificate when you finish the course.

What is the refund policy?

You can request a refund within 72 hours of purchase by emailing info@codeandcompile.com.
