關於本電子書
With automation requirements on the rise, Siemens' TIA Portal development environment is almost a necessity for any automation engineer. The Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) environment helps seamlessly integrate all things automation, from PLC hardware and software design to HMI development. This book helps you understand the tools available in the TIA toolbox and shows you how to write code effectively.
The book begins by introducing you to the TIA environment, covering the layout and tools available. Once you've got to grips with the environment, you'll find out how to create hardware to write programs against, including adding IO modules and assigning memory for input and output. Next, you'll develop logic in all of the languages that TIA Portal offers, such as Ladder, Function Block Diagram, and Structured Text (SCL) (note that Statement List is not covered as a deprecated language), as well as the newest language, Cause and Effect (CEM). You'll also discover how to store standard code in libraries, creating a version control system that is easy to manage and aids standard design. Finally, following the PLC design chapters, you'll learn how to develop HMI applications in TIA Portal's latest unified hardware.
By the end of the book, you'll be well equipped to use all of the features that TIA Portal V17 offers.
What you will learnSet up a Siemens Environment with TIA PortalFind out how to structure a projectCarry out the simulation of a project, enhancing this further with structureDevelop HMI screens that interact with PLC dataMake the best use of all available languagesLeverage TIA Portal's tools to manage the deployment and modification of projectsWho this book is forThis TIA Portal book is for anybody looking to learn PLC/HMI development using the latest Siemens development platform. Industrial software engineers, PLC engineers, automation engineers, and electricians will be able to advance their skill set with this guide. A basic understanding of PLC principles such as PLC data types and basic objects such as function blocks and functions is necessary to get started.

關於作者
Liam Bee has worked in automation for over 16 years, after starting his career at 16 years old as an instrument technician in the water industry. He began his automation journey by maintaining PLCs and the instruments connected to them. He found very early on that he had an interest in PLCs and automation, taking the time to learn PLC programming in his own time, as well as exposing himself as much as possible to automation while working. After 8 years of working in maintenance, Liam started his own side business, providing bespoke controls using lower-range PLC solutions. This experience proved invaluable to his progression; he learned quickly, often through failure, and his knowledge of control design improved significantly. 12 years into his career, he moved roles again; this time, he was looking for something to fill knowledge gaps and target Siemens as he was yet to use Siemens extensively. Liam started at Aquabio Ltd and quickly found himself immersed in Siemens SIMATIC Manager and TIA Portal. Over the next 3 years, he worked hard to understand Siemens' tools and development environments, calling on knowledge from other PLC environments that he had previously worked with. Over his years working with automation, he has learned many different languages and development environments. He has worked with Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider, Mitsubishi, and a host of other PLC platforms, all of which have helped shape the design concepts that he uses today. Liam has also taught himself computer programming languages such as VBA, VBS, VB.NET, C#, Java, and more. Closing the space between IT and industrial automation is important as time moves forwards and he has always tried his hardest to be at the forefront of innovation.
