The SIMATIC Programming 3 in TIA Portal (TIA-PRO3) course by Siemens is designed for automation professionals seeking advanced skills in industrial programming using the TIA Portal environment. This course prepares participants for the CPT-FAP certification exam, part of the SITRAIN Certification Program, and is ideal for programmers, commissioning engineers, and engineering personnel working in manufacturing and process automation. With over 75% of industrial automation systems in Europe utilizing Siemens TIA Portal technology, mastering these skills ensures high employability and alignment with industry standards. The curriculum builds on prior knowledge from TIA-PRO2 or TIA-SYSUP, focusing on advanced programming techniques essential for optimizing modern automated systems.
Participants gain hands-on experience with key Siemens technologies including SIMATIC S7-1500, SIMATIC STEP 7 based on TIA Portal, SIMATIC WinCC, PROFINET IO, ET 200 distributed I/O, and ProDiag for diagnostics. The lab environment uses a comprehensive TIA system model featuring a real-world automation setup with a Touchpanel and virtual plant model. Students configure CPU-to-CPU communication over Industrial Ethernet, develop reusable code blocks using IEC 61131-3 standards, and implement advanced error handling with Program_Alarm and ProDiag. A core project involves creating user-specific blocks for alarm management and system diagnostics, simulating real plant optimization scenarios to enhance troubleshooting and maintenance efficiency.
This advanced training directly supports certification as an “Automation Technician Projecting acc. ZVEI, based on the TIA Portal” (CPT-FAP), a credential recognized across the European automation industry. Graduates report an average salary increase of 18% post-certification, with senior automation engineers earning up to €85,000 annually in Germany. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Siemens courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of complex topics like indirect addressing, block versioning, and technology functions such as PID control.
