Course program

day 1	Securing your project in the TIA Portal TLS connection encryption, certificate support for secure communication, built-in certificate manager Support for Wireshark software for analyzing communication protocols used in S7-1200/1500 controllers
day 2	Encryption of the PG/PC and HMI connection using certificates in S7-1200/1500 controllers Types of cyberattacks S7 connection, use of PUT/GET blocks - security analysis
day 3	Modbus TCP, communication with an external server – security analysis, connection security Open User Communication (TCP/IP) – security analysis, connection security OPC UA standard in the S7-1500 controller, communication with an external server - analysis in terms of security, methods of securing the connection
day 4	MQTT – security analysis, connection security Communication with an external API – secure collection of data from the S7-1500 controller in the Influx database Overview of security features available in Siemens S7-1200/1500 controllers

Laboratory equipment

The training station for each course participant consists of:

SIEMENS S7-1500 PLC controller
SIEMENS S7-1200 PLC controller
access to the server with services: MQTT broker, Modbus TCP server, OPC UA server, InfluxDB database

Software

SIEMENS TIA Portal V19 is the next version of the integrated design environment that supports solving engineering tasks by including all the necessary software packages in one place:

STEP7 for programming PLC controllers,
WinCC for creating visualizations for HMI operator panels and SCADA systems,
STEP7 Safety for preparing a safety program,
Startdrive for operating SINAMICS series drive units,
And many others, such as SiVArc and TestSuite.

The latest software version brings further improvements to the operating environment, expanded design and diagnostic tools, a suite of new system functions, and changes to technological objects. The following languages can be used to program PLC controllers:

Ladder Diagram (LAD)
Function Block Diagram (FBD)
Programming Sequence Control (GRAPH)
Structured Control Language (SCL)
Statement List (STL)
Cause Effect Matrix (CEM) - available from V17
Continuous Function Chart (CFC) - available from V17

The biggest changes concern the modern WinCC Unified visualization platform, technological objects for Motion Control, user management in PLC projects, as well as optional packages of the TIA Portal environment, such as SIMATIC Robot Library, PLCSIM and Multiuser.
