The
course has been designed
to familiarise Electricians,
Technicians and Maintenance
Engineers with little
or no experience of S7
to the many different
aspects associated with
the operation and maintenance
of Siemens S7 controllers.
Where possible, application
specific exercises, actual
drawings and programs
listings are used to allow
the students to gain the
greatest possible benefit
from the course.
