Siemens TIA Portal PID Compact and Analog Processing
Closed-loop control the way it is done on an S7-1200 or S7-1500: analog in, NORM_X and SCALE_X, PID_Compact configured, tuned and wired to an HMI, analog or PWM out, proved on a free tank simulation.

What you will learn
Explain why a loop needs a controller and what P, I and D do, scale analog inputs and outputs, place and configure PID_Compact in a cyclic OB, tune it with pretuning and fine tuning, choose between analog and PWM outputs, and run it against an HMI and a tank simulation.
- Explain on/off, three-point and PID control and when each fits
- Read P, I and D as gain, reset time and rate time
- Scale analog inputs with NORM_X and SCALE_X and outputs the other way
- Configure PID_Compact in a cyclic interrupt OB and run it
- Pretune and fine-tune a loop and judge the result
- Choose analog or PWM output and control the loop from an HMI

Requirements
- Who it is for
- Intermediate. You should already write ladder in TIA Portal; the Siemens TIA Portal foundation course is the ideal preparation.
- Software
- TIA Portal V15 or later (21-day trial) with S7-PLCSIM; Factory I/O trial for the level scene
- Hardware
- None. The tank simulation and Factory I/O stand in for the plant.

A shareable EDWartens certificate
Finish every module and pass the final assessment, and the optional EDWartens certificate is yours. It carries a unique verification code on a public page anyone can check, so it stands up when a recruiter looks it up. See it below.
- Add it to your LinkedIn profile in one click
- Link it from a CV or portfolio, the URL is permanent
- Publicly verifiable by code, not a PDF anyone can edit
- Issued by EDWartens India, the training centre itself
The course itself stays free whether or not you ever buy one.
Stuck? Ask a practising engineer
A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.
- Questions answered in the context of the module you are on
- The same engineers who teach the AEP programme
- Career tools, CV help and public job listings included
- Your progress and notes stay in your account for good

Common questions
Do I need a real process?
No. The course uses a free tank simulation block and a Factory I/O level scene, so the loop behaves like a real one without hardware.
Is this the same as the generic PID course on this site?
That course is vendor-neutral theory across brands. This one is the Siemens implementation: PID_Compact, its OB, its tuning dialog and its outputs.
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.
Who made the video lessons?
The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.
