S5 Maintenance

Siemens S5 Controller Maintenance Training Course

Course Duration:
5 Days

Documentation:
Siemens S5 Programming and Maintenance Training Manual.

Equipment per student:
Siemens S5 controller
Programming laptop
Plant simulator

The Siemens S5 Controller training course has been designed to familiarise Electricians, Technicians and Maintenance Engineers with little or no experience of S5 systems to the different aspects associated with the operation and maintenance of Siemens S5 controllers and the Siemens Step 5 DOS programming software.

Where possible, application specific exercises, actual drawings and plant programs will be used to allow the students to gain the greatest possible benefit from the course.

Objectives

• To introduce students to the concepts and operation of Siemens S5 Controllers.

• To recognise and understand the hardware associated with a Siemens S5 controller.

• To be able to understand the structure of the Step 5 project in DOS and to have the confidence to implement minor changes to the program.

• To be able to use the DOS programming software to connect online to monitor and use the cross reference to search through the Siemens S5 program to determine problems on plant.

• To be able to locate and replace faulty modules by understanding and using the system diagnostics available when an error is present.

• To be able to create a new backup copy of the Siemens S5 program and to be able to restore a program back into the controller from a backup copy.
