Common questions
Which TIA Portal version should I install?
The one the plant's PLC firmware supports; the first module explains how versions and firmware match. For learning, the newest trial is fine.
Do I need a real PLC?
No. PLCSIM stands in for the CPU throughout, and the download, upload and backup modules show the real-PLC steps on screen.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a Siemens qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a Siemens credential and is never described as one.
