Hi Yiding! Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Happy learning!
You are doing a very great job with your content. i have few questions to ask about S7-1214C PLC 1. If an S7-1214 Siemens PLC has several LED indicators that can be used to verify if the processor is operating correctly and the Maintenance LED is flashing yellow and there is no memory card. What does this mean? 2. IF An S7-1214 stopped controlling the machine. The STOP/RUN indicator is yellow and the ERROR LED is red. What’s wrong? 3. A controlLogix 1756 processor has a flashing green I/O LED, ehat does this mean and ehat should you do to troubleshoot?
Hi Adam, Thank you for your insightful questions. While they are excellent queries, they fall outside the scope of our current lesson platform. If you're experiencing issues with your LEDs flashing, there could be a variety of factors at play. Fortunately, assistance is available! Your local Siemens representative can offer valuable support. Siemens provides a comprehensive website and blog equipped with troubleshooting guides and technical manuals to address your needs. Much of their online troubleshooting assistance is complimentary. However, there may be charges for direct technical consultations. For information specific to Siemens PLCs, please visit the following link support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109744173/documentation-for-simatic-controller?dti=0&lc=en-WW Here is your 1756 processor manual too: literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1756-um001_-en-p.pdf
Hi Sir, the video was very beneficial. Kindly make video lesson on I/O modules. 1. DI Module, 2. AI Module 3. DO 4. AO Their working, internal electronic circuitary, terminal details, how to force them, how to wire them Different AI modules (2 wire, 3 wire,4 wire)
2:47 Standard, compact (C), fail-safe (F) and you could add technology (T) version. Those have more motion ressources. There is also the new redundant (R) and high availability (H) S7-1500, but R and H doesn't exist in the S7-300 platform. You had to go with S7-400H "in the past".
Hi Samir! Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers! Regarding DCS, we do have quite some video courses on that, feel free to check those out over here ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=dcs+realpars Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Hell, I've got a ~$3M machine at work that got handed over 3 months ago that has a 319-2F/PN in it... And every CNC machine with a Siemens Sinumerik control still comes with a 300. 2020 for the NCUs with 1500s was what I heard last year. We'll see, I guess.
Hello Abdoulaye Fara Diaw, Thank you for your question. The answer to your question is maybe. Depending on how complicated your S7-300 logic is FB, OB, FC and DB blocks are, you might have to rewrite some of the logic and configure your hardware too. I am attaching 2 links from the Siemens industrial support website you should be looking at. Happy learning! support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/62100731/what-are-the-requirements-for-migrating-a-step-7-v5-x-project-to-step-7-professional-(tia-portal)-?dti=0&lc=en-US support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109478811/migration-guide-simatic-s7-300-400-to-simatic-s7-1500?dti=0&lc=en-WW
Thanks for your comment! Great question, that would make for an interesting topic suggestion for a future video course. I will go ahead and pass this on to our course developers. Thanks for sharing!
So it seems like the only difference is 1ns processing time which is really not needed for 90% of the applications and the built in display. Nothing is said about the differences in programming with TIA portal and Simatic Manager. It's left open, what the price really is for a basic configuration say 64 I/O's and 8 axes for example. In my opinion it is usually the programmers skills and Know-How to determine which PLC and programming environment is selected.
There are a number of other differences, including an expanded instruction set with the S7-1500, built-in OPC-UA support, built-in web-server, better diagnostics, auto-tuning PID, and motion control support, just to name a few. And yes, the increased CPU speed is not really a big benefit unless you are doing high-speed operations, such as packing lines or fillers. As far as programming packages, SIMATIC Manager cannot be used for the S7-1200 or S7-1500. But TIA Portal Professional can be used with any S7 CPU, making the the best choice for programming any Siemens PLC. The S7-1500 has a pretty high price tag for small systems, so for a 64-I/O system, an S7-1200 can be economical (
The S7-400 is typically used as an AS node in PCS7. We have a new series that is just starting at Realpars.com covering PCS7, which uses a CPU 416-2 DP processor. Come check it out!
In order to be able to select the Simulation button, the program you would like to download needs to be selected. Click on the PLC in the project tree. If the Start Simulation button is not selectable, try recompiling the hardware configuration and then recompile the software configuration. You should be able to start the simulation at this point. If not, make sure the S7-PLCSIM program is installed correctly. The best way to do this is to start the simulation program and see if it will fully boot up to the CPU status window. Also, the S7-300 series of CPU's requires S7-PLCSIM v5.4 or earlier. The latest PLCSIM programs (v12, v14, v15) only work with the S7-1200 and S7-1500 CPU's.
I will never play along with the monopoly of Allen Bradley and Siemens, whoever wants to make these companies richer welcome, I have had projects for more than twenty years working and making upgrades with PLCs from different brands, they do the same!!! More economical!! And even in some cases, better functions such as Rest API, OPC UA, it seems like a robbery to me that just by checking a box on the portal they charge you 1000 dollars just to enable OPC UA, that's it!!
Hey! Thanks for your comment! We currently only provide our course videos in English, you are always able to turn on the English subtitles as that might make it a bit easier for you. Our apologies for any inconvenience! Happy learning!
Redundancy ?😑🤔 I don’t like this video but I can push the dislike bottom because affect my preferences algorithm and you’re too important in this field

Well said. S7-1500 widely suport the data with out error and speed transmition. Thanks a lot for the post.
Thanks for your support, Murugesan! Great to hear that.
Hi guys! Can you create a video explaining the main difference between s7 1200 and s7 1500? It would help a lot! Anyway, you're doing a fantastic job!
Hey Facemix!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
This channel it's very useful for me !!! TKS guys
Thanks for your support, Ricardo!
2:47 Standard, compact (C), fail-safe (F) and you could add technology (T) version. Those have more motion ressources. There is also the new redundant (R) and high availability (H) S7-1500, but R and H doesn't exist in the S7-300 platform. You had to go with S7-400H "in the past".
You can see the other types of these CPUs on its relevant blog post here: realpars.com/S7-300-versus-S7-1500/
I´m so glad to found your channel, it´s amazing!
Glad to hear that! Thank you very much
The video is very useful, thanks to you, I know the difference between these 2 types of plc
That is great! Happy learning!
Thank you realpars team, would you mind make a video about Siemens PLCs evolution? Also DCS? Thank you in advance.
Hi Samir!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers! Regarding DCS, we do have quite some video courses on that, feel free to check those out over here ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=dcs+realpars

Hi Raju!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
What about the 1200?
@He who must not be named not just a little, it is mostly used for home applications
Nice video and precise information about both models of PLCs available from Siemens. Thanks Realpars for this useful material.
Happy to hear that, thanks a lot!
Please make course about MMS communication protocol
Thanks for the topic suggestion! I will definitely forward this to our creator team.
Great content! Love this channel!
Great to hear! Thanks a lot!
@@realpars You're welcome.
Could it be possible to have a series of videos bout AS-i bus?
Thansk for the topic suggesiton, Erick! I will pass it on to our creator team.
Yes please I am also looking for a deep series of videos about As-i. It would be better if Its from a real pars.
That's some fancy stuff you got there!
shitty programming, expensive, bad software,
schneider electric is way better !!
i use every brand except siemens
What is the difference about programing s7 200 and s7 300. Could you make a video about that.please!
Hi Huan!
Thanks for the topic suggestion, I will definitely go ahead and forward this to our creator team.
Happy learning!
Siemens said : " we will not support S7-300 , s7-400 in the future " . Last time i heard is 5 year ago
Hell, I've got a ~$3M machine at work that got handed over 3 months ago that has a 319-2F/PN in it...
And every CNC machine with a Siemens Sinumerik control still comes with a 300. 2020 for the NCUs with 1500s was what I heard last year. We'll see, I guess.
Now almost the time to replace S7-400 because S7-1500 have redundancy feature.
Very Informative ❤
Thank you!
Thanks for you best creative team ever
Great to hear that! Thanks a lot!
Really valuable video
Thank you, Mukesh!
A video for analog input scale on Step7 simatic manager with STL? Please, or do you have this as a course? Thx
Hi Dan,
Thanks for your comment!
We do have a couple of course videos in our course library covering Analog Input. bit.ly/31Ypl1p

Do you have to rewrite the logics when converting from 300 to 1500?

hi dear realpars very good thanks
You are very welcome! Happy learning!
A big difference , is how a scada polls data from s 1500.
1500 write data async
300, or 400 writes data at end scan
Why there’s just 31 nodes to connect using Profinet?
thassioam 5 bits only on the address part of the data stream.
Do you have some video about PLC-S7400?
The S7-400 is typically used as an AS node in PCS7. We have a new series that is just starting at Realpars.com covering PCS7, which uses a CPU 416-2 DP processor. Come check it out!
@@realpars Thank you. I would like more information about AS node in PCS7
Thanks a lot !
You are very welcome, Alexandr!
Really good
Thank you!
Thanks million
You're very welcome!
I am live In Uzbekistan.Are your have ofice in Uzbekistan
can i use new version of tia portal to program siemens s7-300 ?
YES! You will need the TIA Portal Professional version. The Basic version can be used for programming S7-1200 CPU's only.
Thanks a lot n.n
You're welcome!
Try to migrate s7-300 to s7-1500, where is fb285 for control drives used.
Absolutely hell.
My company use s7-1500 but in i/o module is 50 .
plz help me simulation button not showing (S7-300)
