Hello Le Test; Jeff's path to learning Siemens PLCs (and drives, if we can believe his most numerous posts!) is certainly the fastest. It reminds me of a brother-in-law who brags about throwing his kids in the pond so they learn to swim (those that make it back to the shore by themselves, that is...). If you have a bit more time, and a little less pressure, you could study tutorials prepared by Siemens for different PLCs and programming software that you can locate here: http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/sce/en/advanced_training/training_material/Pages/Default.aspx The "Classic Modules" are for S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs, using Simatic Manager. The other types of module titles are self explaining. Each module comes with a Word or PDF document explaining the theory, and a sample program to help you practice, if you have access to the software and hardware in question. There is also a large number of videos uploaded to Youtube for Siemens programming examples. Here is an example of what a Youtube search on "Step 7" will provide: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=step+7 And let us not forget the huge amount of documents available through this site, provided by Siemens Support. Use the search box at the top right of this forum page and use searchwords that match you requirements. Once you get a list of available documents you can limit your search by filtering on Manuals, FAQs, Application Example, etc... One such dicument was proposed to us recently by our friend Towome: "here´s a very nice tutorial with concentrated know how on 68 pages as pdf to Download: It´s called SIMATIC S7-300 Tutorial for First Time Users https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/view/27006123" Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

I should add that the Hans Berger books, although very expensive, are a fabulous resource. http://www.amazon.com/Hans-Berger/e/B001JOPGC8/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1453531496&sr=1-2-ent |
