Siemens TIA Portal Tutorial (S7-1200 PLC_Hardware Overview) 

Hello Sir S7-1200+KTP400 Basic starter kit. In windows 10 we can download this TIA portal program from that kit.

The Siemens PLC is a great product to learn, and is widely used in industry. I can highly recommend Rajvir Singh's course on Udemy.

No. The SD card is not required for downloading a program. Perhaps you chose the wrong PLC when downloading?

I bought the KTP400. It is quite small and limits your workspace. If you are working from home you can always add a PC HMI and then just Simulate with PLC SIM... saves you a lot of cash and you get the same result. 4 to 20 mA inputs are available through additional modules. The SM1234 AI/AQ would be an example. Also the 1214C PLC allows for the SB1232AQ which fits right on the front of this model.

@@PeteVree Thanks for the advice. So, is it possible to use the analog module you said: SM1234 AI/AQ in the PLC you used in your video (CPU 1212C AC/DC/RLY)??

Best to check with a supplier to confirm. www.plc-city.com/shop/en/siemens-simatic-s7-1200-analog-modules.html

I'll add it to my list of topics to cover. Thanks Thomas.

Thank you again.

It contains a power supply that takes the 120/240V and provides 24VDC. mall.industry.siemens.com/mall/en/WW/Catalog/Product/6ES7214-1AG40-0XB0

I could be wrong Mr. Pete but : 1st/2nd/3rd 1st is for the supply voltage, not the power Supply. meaning it takes in 24 DC NOT 120/240V, and it provides also 24DC for inputs. Refere to system manual chapter " Technical specification/ CPU wiring"

This model of the S7-1200 comes with an Ethernet Connector. The Factory IO does not need a physical connection. It is simply an animation program that looks at I/O values above the number of physical inputs of the PLC. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kmlx4Sq94hQ.html&list=PLyL0ResmI4Q38NVKLzouUJdNMu7bA2mH5&index=7

A 250 ohm resistor across the analog input terminals would provide 1-5 V DC when 4 - 20 mA is flowing though it. This is a crude way of making something work when you're too cheap to purchase the appropriate input card.

@@PeteVree Thank you. I have seen these resistors used on small PLC's used on sump pumps that have hydrostatic sensors

Take a look at Rajvir Singh's diagram here: forums.mrplc.com/uploads/monthly_2017_12/Introduction-to-S7-1200.jpg.0d5c7d2aaa91906fa7b01b24bc34cbec.jpg The 1L is the common connection for the outputs

You'll need either a standard router or an ethernet switch

DC is DC Power Supply DC is 24V DC Inputs RLY is Relay Outputs

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried turning the PLC on and off on the menu on the top left of the TIA Portal?

Prices are climbing here in Canada as well as our dollar has dropped to 0.77 USD

Okeke nwanne looking for same .

Couple seconds... depends on how many bananas you fed it last night.

Probably a scam. I had some really bad experiences with EBay, so I only purchase from reputable suppliers now.

@@PeteVree ok thank you
