Automating with Step7 – S7-300/400

Time for the greats of the SIMATIC family. The S7-300 and S7-400. These PLC are scheduled from a single interface with the same language and same procedures.

These families are integrated into the SIMATIC Manager, a true project manager who not only allows us to create programs but also interconnect equipment, manage HMI panels, SCADA systems, variable speed, field instruments, and all types of equipment used in industry. All this is due to the Siemens TIA concept (Totally Integrated Automation).

It’s much there is to learn about and SIMATIC Step7 Manager, so I leave here some links to free courses Siemens. They are downloaded to the PC and are in English only.

4) Communication with SIMATIC S7
5) Display – HMI integration
6) Functions test and operation
7) The language S7-SCL high (similar to Pascal)

Communicating with PROFINET

EVOLUTION OF A PROFIBUS PROFINET

Within the SIMATIC automation systems have existed various field buses. They have evolved over time into new technologies. For example, buses SINEC L1, L2 or SINEC SINEC H1.
In 1989, in order to allow users to interconnect equipment from different manufacturers Profibus protocol was developed through the work of fifteen companies and institutes, including Siemens company. Profibusprotocol is an evolution of SINEC L2, though unsupported each other. It is not uncommon to find operating IM308B communication modules for the S5-135U, S5-95U communicated with integrated port SINEC L2.
If we study the protocol Profibus according to the ISO / OSI modelfor communications protocols see that in the layer 1, physical layer, uses the standard RS485 . This is a two-wire differential bus is not twisted and shielded.
Profibus today has approximately 20 million nodes installed worldwide, and proved one of the best field buses.
INTRODUCTION PROFINET
Still, the market demands a step further and thus bringing the PROFINET standard: a bus Ethernet based industrial communication industry.

REPEAT THE CENTER OF AUTOMATION

AS A WINNER IN THE CREATON
On 29 and 30 April was held the second version of Creaton organized by Technopark Node Manizales. This year has had the participation of several schools to form groups with trainees of the Seine and to demonstrate their creativity by using electronic scrap.
learners Automation Design and Integration of Mechatronic, 600 202, participated Automation Center, created groups with college students and guests took first, second, third.
The group of winners, led by Felipe Martinez Danielstudent center, created a candy vending machine by using parts from an old VCR.
We congratulate the trainees for their talent, commitment and creativity.

Kempo Karate

Kempo Karate, which is also known as Kenpo, is among the most popular forms of karate, developed in the West. The word means kempo law of the fist, as well as this form of martial art has long been regarded as a combination art for the fact that it involves the use of hard fist (karate-do), soft fist (Ju Jitsu) and weapons ( Kobudo). At the most basic, teaches Kempo Karate sparring and sparring drills for a specific purpose to help students learn and understand the basic movements and the application of the kicking and punching combinations. This is actually where the Kempo Karate sparring techniques come in. Well, the sparring techniques are classified according to the intent of the program. As Ive mentioned before, is a combination art. It is often used primarily for self defense, self-control and protection against weapons. However, unlike other forms of martial arts, Kempo Karate style differs from the traditional Karate in several important respects. With this fact, the students who want to learn sparring techniques strongly encouraged to change and the ancient and modern techniques to adapt sparring. There are two major techniques involved in Kempo Karate sparring for self defense. The first is called Tuite or take the hand techniques, and the other is it essential? Le point attacks or Kyusho.

Both sparring techniques are highly regarded as they help students develop their skills by letting them practice using a variety of threatening situations. The basic self-defense techniques involve defenses against grabs, pushes, punches, holds, kicks, and weapon defenses. The vital points Kempo Karate sparring techniques as basically regarded as the most striking and sophisticated techniques in the martial arts. They well be used against selected anatomical points of the nervous system and circulatory system. Note that these vital points techniques that temporarily shut down an opponent than his ability to retaliate. As what most experts say this kind of self-defense technique, the key is precision, not strength. As the students progress in learning the techniques of self defense Kempo Karate sparring, they will be taught with the forms and katas, or the higher level of Kempo Karate sparring techniques. These techniques are considered to help students develop a sense of self-awareness and self-expression. As such, the movements involved in this level students to develop their reflexes and timing in a controlled environment, while exercising a sporting activity. This is actually where the advanced techniques and combinations, such as the front thrust kick, spinning heel kick, shoulder, throw off balance, roundhouse kick, Crescent kick triple jump, etc. Finally, Kempo Karate sparring teaches students how to use weapons. To my knowledge, this is strongly considered in any Kempo training to students to increase understanding of self-defense. So it is common for the defense techniques against knives and clubs are taught from the yellow band. The so-called empty hand sparring techniques such as Bassai, Tomari seisan, sai, kama, nunchaku, and others are herein? Introduced. Note that both the defense and the use of weapons techniques of Kempo round of training students in the first degree black belt, known as shodan.

PRIMARY GROUP AUTOMATION CENTER

On Wednesday 19 May, has developed the primary group, which covered the following topics:

• Educational assistance for those with children in Schedule A
• Training in the Technopark, May 20 at 2 PM, for those who were chosen as jurors for the presidential elections next May 30.
• On May 20, at 12 M, is the opening of the regional games will be launched TIS card, smart card of the Seine, which will serve to control the vocabulary of the trainees and to defend justice language. It seeks the cooperation of the instructors to assist all learners.
• The importance of running a second language.
• We remind the instructors the importance of cleanliness of the environment, and asked the collaboration of additional training apprentices as they have found the cans full of garbage.
• Instructors must set an example to trainees coming off the training process, otherwise it shall be written reprimands.
• Weaknesses in the assessment of the Centre.
• Order the elements of training.
• Using the Blackboard platform and support in the starting lineup.
• To inform the trainees defected and conditioned.
• It asked the instructors to hold periodic meetings with trainees to discuss issues other than academics, that is to support them from the standpoint of emotional and personal.
• It is suggested that instructors start this year, the certification process in ICT management skills.
• Never give bank account information on pages that are not of the institution concerned.
• Report nonconformities of the last internal audit.
• Not received additional training packages or events that are incomplete.
• Taking into account the number of apprentices to register before the closing date in SOFIA.
• Instructors must be alert to detect problems of drug use and prostitution in order to provide appropriate support to trainees.
• Since the records are being created to study and digital certificates of additional training courses in SOFIA.
• They are reminded to be pending instructor certification process this year.

As always, we hope the collaboration of all staff in the preceding paragraphs.
