Course Overview

The SIMATIC PCS 7 System Course (ST-PCS7SYS) by Siemens is a comprehensive 10-day training program designed for configuring engineers, programmers, and commissioning engineers working in process automation. This course prepares participants for the Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 - Basic Engineer certification (CP-PCS7-1), validating foundational engineering skills in one of the industry’s leading distributed control systems. With Siemens PCS 7 deployed across major chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas facilities globally, demand for certified engineers remains strong, particularly in sectors where plant-wide integration and high-availability control are critical. The curriculum is structured to equip professionals with the ability to plan system architecture, configure multi-projects, and implement plant hierarchies using industry best practices.

Participants gain hands-on experience with core Siemens technologies including SIMATIC PCS 7, CFC (Continuous Function Chart), SFC (Sequential Function Chart), APL (Advanced Process Library), and the Process Object View for spreadsheet-based engineering. Through practical exercises conducted in a virtual training environment or on original SIMATIC PCS 7 training units, students configure complete control systems from field level to operator stations, set up networks, and develop automation logic. A key project involves building a fully functional process automation solution up to the HMI level, including alarm handling, archiving, and interlock functions, enabling rapid fault diagnosis and system optimization. This lab-intensive approach ensures engineers can apply their skills directly to real-world plant engineering and commissioning tasks.

Earning the Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 - Basic Engineer certification enhances career prospects in the process industries, where certified professionals command average salaries between $110,000 and $140,000 annually, especially in high-margin sectors like pharma and petrochemicals. Koenig Solutions supports this journey with official Siemens courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and flexible 1-on-1 training options to ensure personalized attention and mastery of complex concepts. Graduates are well-positioned to advance into senior automation or systems integration roles, contributing to safer, more efficient industrial operations and driving digital transformation in global manufacturing and process plants.
