🤔 This was really awesome from a junior programmer in Automations Controls perspective having watched both videos part 1 & 2. Clearly demonstrated from opening the program, setting the project configuration, clearly showing which exact buttons and tabs etc in configuring the logic controller setup, then clear details how to exactly configure the logic for the system. This should be applauded because many people just say but don’t actually show in details for someone learning and following along and you can be confused as to which button they clicked or drop tab for something. This 2 part video was very well explained and I’ve never even used Siemens Step 7 Software. Well not yet. But this tremendously helps if I did have it in understanding how to setup a project and configure. My 1 only suggestion would be in a future video if possible to use the very same tank, pump system and do a video using Rockwell Studio 5000 with ControlLogic controller in the same detail. As well in same video add a logic version maybe in simple Function Block programing demonstration of same logic for the input/outputs so any newer person learning can clearly see both versions of the logic programing in standard ladder and or including if using Function Blocks.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us, Ardent! Regarding your topic request, I have forwarded this to our creator team to add to the list. Thanks a lot!
I was just introduce to PLC yesterday, and all I can say is that your the best. Please more video on how to use the various tools on processes will be appreciated
This fall (2021) I'm going to school for CNC certification, my first class is industrial robotics and PLC's I wanted to have an idea before I rushed in blind, and these videos are teaching me more than I could have hoped for. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this tutorial! Gave me a good start in my Simatic PLC training. I do have one comment to make about it, and maybe you can clarify this for me. The two sensors (H_Level and L_Level), L_Level will always be active when the product is in the tank and approaching H_Level. When the product reaches H_Level, L_Level will still be active. This will make the SR Latch useless and it should instead be a JK flip-flop. Anyways, thank you once again, it does give me a good start on how to use the software and what can be accomplished using it! The animations were very helpful.
Hello RealPars... You are the master of PLC... I am new and very interested with the system like programming... i like to works with my laptop... Very easy to understand... in hopes you are doing class in Malaysia... Really appreciate it... looking forward for continued relationship...
Appreciate the explanations you provide, some of us are moving into supporting this equipment from working with other larger gear and no training on even simple programming.
its very nice video. i do have a query related to network 3. you have used IO.1 high level as a input for valve which will be high or 1 or NC when fluid level is at max and then only output side of valve will be 1 and allow water to discharge at other place. but when fluid level is in the middle level during discharging time then input IO.1 will be low or 0 or NO then output side of the valve will be 0. Then how valve will be remain open to discharge rest fluid?
Nice content, thank you so much. Only question is: why in this case NC contact of Stop switch is used(signal is present in reset input of RS flip flop? Looks like in order to make system operate “Stop” button should be pushed all time long. Thank you.
Hi sir, Minute 7:31 assume i am discharging and the liquid level between the high level and low level, in this case, the L_Level is on and it will close the valve before the tank is fully discharged, I mean we should put a closed contact for the L_Level so it means that the liquid level is below the L_Level sensor
Your tutorials are very impressive, am grateful to your impartation. Thanks. I am currently operating on 2# electric gas kilns and using plc board in operating to the system, so your program is helpful to me. Keep up with your good job.
The part 1 and the part 2 are amazing videos. Very easy to understand and follow. I have noticed. The low-level switch is open when there is water, and the high-level switch is closed when there is water. Should not we use the normally closed switch for the low-level switch?
Hello, Thank you for your question! We see in network 1 both switches are shown logically “open” before any action happens. And in the simulator they are also open which simulates the physical position of the switch “normally open.” But when we close the switch on the simulator the logic of the “L_LeveL” switch turns “green” meaning we made it a logic “1” because we have no water in the tank and we just closed it. As it is stated when the level passed the level of the low level switch we open it in the simulator and it will not be fully “green” as you can see. But it looks “open” because we are just changing the logic. Therefore, with this logic we can’t not make it a normally closed switch unless we change the logic. Hope this clarifies your question. Happy learning!
Great video... But i have a small question.. When the liquid reaches to maximum level and high level switch is activated. And mixer and valve are turned on respectively. But when the liquid goes below high level switch the status of high level switch will change and that will affect the entire process... What say?
The high-level switch, when triggered at high level, starts the agitator and stops the pumps. But unlike the low-level switch, the high-level switch initiates a timer, which, after it times out, opens the bottom valve. The level will go below the high-level switch, but there is no logic that is activated when this happens. When the low-level switch is reached the cycle starts over again
Thank you RealPars. I think there is a mistake in the last step of the program. The 'stop' button must be modeled as a normally open contact in the program, or if we want to model it as a normally close contact, we should put it in series with the contacts in 'reset' signal path.
I agree that the stop button must be normally open in order to work in this configuration, so it only provides voltage to reset functions when pressed. On the other hand, placing the normally closed stop switch in series with the other reset signal paths would only allow the user to stop the resetting process from being able to function when pressed, which would only detract from the ability to stop the pumps or valves from operating.
Low level should be negated contact. Otherwise sensor will give out sigal while liquid is above low level sensor and will be resetting dischage valve flip flop. So if we set LowLVL contact as a NC it will close once level drops below bottom level thus setting on pumps. Of course a relay with NC contact can be used to invert LowLVL signal, but that's aditional cost.
I appreciate this so much. I think I want recommend to my clients to use Siemens computers because of the free training that you give on your machines. How much do your advanced programmes cost

Great tutorial. I know this is a small and relatively basic system, but how much more complex would a typical project be for a control systems engineer? This one had a few processes, and only a handful of I/o devices. I know modular plcs can have significantly more inputs and outputs. I have worked in an engineering environment for nearly a decade, and even in a relatively complex setting, I feel like the programming wouldn’t be difficult, but perhaps tedious.
The FlipFlop is an SR type. Does it give preference to the SET input or RESET input when both are energized? In your example the SET was energized and then you have clicked on RESET. The pumps turned off , so it gave preference to the R input. Does Siemenes have a SR FF with preference to the S input?
Hey there, I have an issue. Why are my 0-7 bits grayed out in the input bits and the output bits section as shown in the video at 10:00 ? I can't change my stop switch etc. Edit: Clicked on Tools -> Options -> Attach Symbols and it fixed itself.
great tutorial. But i have one question. Why the contact of "Stop" use NC? On minute 11:03 , why contact "Stop" not energizing the input reset? Thank you
Typically, the physical STOP pushbutton is normally closed and energized until it is pressed. This is a fail-safe installation, since breaking the circuit by pushing the button or other electrical event (power loss, wire break, etc.) will also serve to break the circuit and stop the mixer or close the valve. So when the STOP PB is pressed, the NC contact in the R input logic to the SR Flip-Flop becomes true (field input is false) and the flip-flop is reset.
@@realpars The STOP button is normally closed, so when it is not being pressed, the SR flip-flop reset function is being constantly energized, and will be constantly resetting. The way this system is set up, from my understanding, the SR flip flop and pulse timer can only power the pumps or valve while the normally closed stop button is being held (opening the circuit), so that the STOP button will not energize the reset input on the SR flip-flop/Pulse Timer. The fail safe nature of the normally closed stop button is important, but its placement in this system makes it work improperly, and it seems to cause the system to not be able to function without the stop button being constantly held down. Please consider my understanding, and let me know if I am misunderstanding something fundamental, but I strongly believe this setup is dysfunctional due to the placement of the NC stop button.
Hi Pisanu, 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!
Thank you so much for such an excellent video lecture, My first doubt: is any where memory addresses for timer, sr flip flops were used How MIXER mimics created?
First of all great tutorial content from you guys. I have a question regarding the solution with respect to the usage of the SR latch. We know that SR latch are sequential digital elements which cannot have both it's S & R inputs at logic "1" because that will lead to an undetermined state at the output. Now, what if we hit the "Stop" button at the moment when liquid drops below the "L-Level"? I suppose the SR latch will receive a digital high input both from L-Level sensor and the normally close stop button putting the SR latch into undetermined state? Thank you.
An SR flip-flop in Siemens S7 is designed to eliminate any undetermined state. This instruction does not behave as an SR latch in electronic circuit design. It is a true flip-flop that takes action on an the leading edge of the S and R inputs. If the S input to the flip-flop is true, the output Q is set true. The output Q stays true, even if the S input goes false, and will remain true until the R, or reset, input is true. If the S input is also true when R is true, the result is that Q will be true. This prevents indeterminate behavior.
Thank you very much once again for starting the SIEMENS_PLC_Training. I saw your last two parts of PLC programming and it was very easy to understand. In the second part, you have used Set-Reset Flip Flop instead of latch to turn on the pumps and the valve. Could you please tell us what are the advantages of using SR instead of latch for output turn on. I have answered one interviewer to that questions that its very easy to understand, less number of ladder elements/branch is required and network will be more speedy. He didn't satisfied. Another thing, in next video please show us the programming of wincc and visual elements color changes as you demonstrate in the video. Could you please make a comparative between runtime and flexible version of wincc and what are their advantages and disadvantages and which one is better to use. Thanks in advance for nice efforts.
Md. Moshiul Alam Great! We’re glad you found the recent videos helpful! Fillip-flops are used more often and the reason for that is simply because they have both “set” and “reset” instructions in one block that makes both programming and troubleshooting easier! And in regards to your question about difference between WinCC and WinCC flexible, the main difference would be WinCC is commonly used for SCADA and PC based monitoring systems but WinCC flexible is only used for configuring HMI panels. There are also other differences such as “maximum number of tags” that they support, “pup up windows”, “scripts”, “redundancy” and etc. basically WinCC flexible can be used for smaller stand-alone SCADA systems with limited functionalities.
Great tutorials, thank you so much! I am total beginner in PLC programming. Would appreciate to get an advice about synchronous speed control of 4 servo motors and change the speed according to a couple of parameters. Also, HMI is supposed to be used for this purpose.
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, I just have two questions: since the stop button is normally closed, doesn't it just reset the flip flops immediately? Also actuating the stop button seems to just discontinue power to the reset part of the flop, please explain how the stop button works. Thank you.
The stop button is a normally closed pushbutton in the field, so the PLC input is high (or "1") when the button is not pressed. In the video, the stop pushbutton bit had to be set before demonstrating the logic, indicated "not pressed". When the pushbutton is pressed, the contact is broken and the input goes low, or "0". This causes the NC contact to activate the "R" input to each flip-flop, which resets the "Q" output. The "S" input will then need to be reset and then set again to once again set the "Q" output.
since output coil is used only one time. so if the all output contacts are connected with the close switch contact, we dont need to connect separate stop contact with each network

We know that SR latch are sequential digital elements which cannot have both it's S & R inputs at logic "1" because that will lead to an undetermined state at the output. Now, what if we hit the "Stop" button at the moment when liquid drops below the "L-Level"? I suppose the SR latch will receive a digital high input both from L-Level sensor and the normally close stop button putting the SR latch into undetermined state? Thank you.
An SR flip-flop in Siemens S7 is designed to eliminate any undetermined state. This instruction does not behave as an SR latch in electronic circuit design. It is a true flip-flop that takes action on an the leading edge of the S and R inputs.
If the S input to the flip-flop is true, the output Q is set true. The output Q stays true, even if the S input goes false, and will remain true until the R, or reset, input is true. If the S input is also true when R is true, the result is that Q will be true. This prevents indeterminate behavior.
Thank you very much once again for starting the SIEMENS_PLC_Training. I saw your last two parts of PLC programming and it was very easy to understand. In the second part, you have used Set-Reset Flip Flop instead of latch to turn on the pumps and the valve. Could you please tell us what are the advantages of using SR instead of latch for output turn on. I have answered one interviewer to that questions that its very easy to understand, less number of ladder elements/branch is required and network will be more speedy. He didn't satisfied.
Another thing, in next video please show us the programming of wincc and visual elements color changes as you demonstrate in the video. Could you please make a comparative between runtime and flexible version of wincc and what are their advantages and disadvantages and which one is better to use. Thanks in advance for nice efforts.
Md. Moshiul Alam Great! We’re glad you found the recent videos helpful! Fillip-flops
are used more often and the reason for that is simply because they have both “set”
and “reset” instructions in one block that makes both programming and troubleshooting
easier!
And in regards to your question about difference between WinCC
and WinCC flexible, the main difference would be WinCC is commonly used for SCADA
and PC based monitoring systems but WinCC flexible is only used for configuring
HMI panels. There are also other differences such as “maximum number of tags”
that they support, “pup up windows”, “scripts”, “redundancy” and etc. basically
WinCC flexible can be used for smaller stand-alone SCADA systems with limited functionalities.
PARSIC Thank you. Now it make sense to me. When next video will publish.
Md. Moshiul Alam It will be published in the middle of October!
PARSIC middle of October! if possible then please publish a video once in a week.
Nice lesson and nice to see where these flip-flops I learned about in CS, are used...Thank you.
Thanks for your support.
Well versed lecture., keep rocking
Thank you, Abdur!
Great tutorials, thank you so much!
I am total beginner in PLC programming.
Would appreciate to get an advice about synchronous speed control of 4 servo motors and change the speed according to a couple of parameters. Also, HMI is supposed to be used for this purpose.
Thanks for your comment and feedback, Denis! I will be happy to pass this on to our course developers.
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, I just have two questions: since the stop button is normally closed, doesn't it just reset the flip flops immediately? Also actuating the stop button seems to just discontinue power to the reset part of the flop, please explain how the stop button works. Thank you.
The stop button is a normally closed pushbutton in the field, so the PLC input is high (or "1") when the button is not pressed. In the video, the stop pushbutton bit had to be set before demonstrating the logic, indicated "not pressed". When the pushbutton is pressed, the contact is broken and the input goes low, or "0". This causes the NC contact to activate the "R" input to each flip-flop, which resets the "Q" output. The "S" input will then need to be reset and then set again to once again set the "Q" output.
@@realpars thanks a lot, I've been following up with your tutorials please don't stop making them, once again thank you.
since output coil is used only one time.
so if the all output contacts are connected with the close switch contact, we dont need to connect separate stop contact with each network
Thank you brother
I am looking for some more vedios of you about Plc
Great work done.Easily understood
