Siemens PLC Programming | New PLC and HMI Project in TIA Portal v16

Siemens is a world class manufacturer of various industrial hardware and software. The company has a market foothold in Europe and is growing in popularity in North America. Our goal is to introduce our readers and viewers to various PLC and HMI platforms and give them an option to decide what’s the best solution for their manufacturing operations.In this article, we’re kicking off a series of tutorials on how to build a project in TIA Portal. We’ll be covering how to build your first project, how to configure PLC and HMI tags, how to establish communications to actual hardware and a simulator, how to write simple programs and download them onto the PLC.

Siemens PLC Programming | Ladder Logic, HMI Development & Code Simulation

As we dive deeper into Siemens TIA Portal PLC & HMI programming, it’s essential to get our first “Hello World” program up and running on the virtual simulator for the PLC and HMI. As a recap, in the previous tutorial, we’ve built a TIA Portal project, added the hardware, and established communication to a live PLC.This tutorial aims to explore “Program blocks” within TIA Portal, create a ladder logic program tied to two virtual inputs/outputs, and simulate the program on a PLC and HMI through TIA Portal.
