Course Overview

The SIMATIC Programming 2 in TIA Portal (TIA-PRO2) course by Siemens is designed for automation professionals seeking to advance their skills in industrial control systems. This intermediate-level training builds on foundational knowledge from TIA-PRO1 and prepares learners for the Siemens Certified Programmer certification based on the TIA Portal. Targeted at PLC programmers, commissioning engineers, and industrial automation engineers, the course equips participants with advanced programming techniques essential for modern manufacturing environments. With over 75% of discrete manufacturing plants worldwide utilizing Siemens automation technology, proficiency in the TIA Portal ecosystem is a high-demand skillset sought by global employers in automotive, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods industries.

Participants work extensively with core Siemens technologies including SIMATIC STEP 7, SIMATIC S7-1500 automation systems, WinCC Unified Panels, PROFINET IO, and the Structured Control Language (SCL). The hands-on lab component takes place in a virtual exercise environment simulating a real-world production plant, where students configure a complete TIA system integrating PLC, HMI, and network components. Learners build structured programs using complex data types, implement error handling with organization blocks (OBs), and manage analog signal processing. A key project involves developing a fault-tolerant automation sequence with diagnostic data evaluation, mirroring actual industrial scenarios where system reliability is critical.

This course serves as the second step toward earning the Siemens Certified Programmer credential, a globally recognized qualification that validates expertise in TIA Portal-based automation solutions. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20% and greater eligibility for senior automation roles. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Siemens courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Graduates gain the confidence to design scalable, maintainable PLC programs and are well-positioned to lead automation projects in Industry 4.0 environments, driving efficiency and innovation in smart manufacturing operations.
