Course Overview
The SIMIT in Discrete Automation Technology for Beginners (DI-SIMITFA) course by Siemens is designed to equip automation professionals with foundational skills in virtual commissioning using the SIMIT simulation software. While no direct certification exam is tied to this course, it serves as a critical stepping stone for engineers preparing for advanced Siemens Digital Enterprise qualifications. Targeted at project managers, configuration engineers, and automation programmers, this training addresses the growing industry demand for virtual commissioning—adopted by over 70% of leading discrete manufacturing firms to reduce downtime and accelerate time-to-market. Participants gain a structured introduction to SIMIT’s core functions, including simulation modeling, component creation, and integration with PLC systems, enabling them to validate automation logic before physical deployment.
Throughout the course, learners engage with key Siemens technologies such as SIMIT, PLCSIM Advanced, NX Mechatronics Concept Designer (MCD), and the CONTEC component library. Using the SIMIT engineering environment, students complete hands-on labs where they build digital twins of automated systems, configure signal, device, and process-level simulations, and establish real-time couplings between SIMIT and PLCSIM Advanced. A central project involves creating custom components using the Component Type Editor and integrating them into a functional simulation model that mirrors real-world production cells. These exercises are conducted in a virtual lab environment accessible via the SITRAIN digital learning platform, which provides pre- and post-course access to supplementary web-based training modules for continuous skill development.
By mastering SIMIT fundamentals, participants enhance their readiness for roles in digital factory transformation, a domain where certified Siemens automation specialists report average salary increases of 15–20%. Koenig Solutions supports this learning journey with official Siemens courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure concept mastery. Graduates of the SIMIT in Discrete Automation Technology for Beginners (DI-SIMITFA) program are well-positioned to contribute to virtual commissioning initiatives, reduce engineering errors, and advance into senior automation or digital twin engineering roles within Industry 4.0 environments.
