Overview
The PLC Practitioner Level-2 course is designed to bridge the gap between basic logic and professional-grade industrial applications. It focuses on the architectural design of complex PLC programs, the methodology of hardware parameterization, and the integration of decentralized I/O systems. This level equips participants with the technical competence required to manage and troubleshoot integrated automation environments.
The Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) forms the working environment for integrated engineering with SIMATIC STEP 7. In this first part of the SIMATIC TIA Portal programming training, you will learn the handling of the TIA Portal, basic knowledge about the structure of the SIMATIC S7 automation system, the configuration and parameterization of the hardware and the basics of classic PLC programming. You will also learn to connect a PROFINET IO.
Who Should Attend
- Programmers
- Commissioning engineers
- Engineering personnel
Curriculum

- Binary and digital operations in function and contact diagram (FBD/LAD)
- Apply standards and work with them using the example of libraries
- Implement data management with data blocks
- Programming of reusable and parameterizable blocks
- Test tools for program testing and commissioning: system information, troubleshooting and diag-nostics
- Documentation of the created program with the possibilities integrated in TIA Portal
- Deepening of the content through practice-oriented exercises in the virtual learning environment
What you’ll learn
- Identify and document the scope of the IACS under assessment
- Specify, gather or generate the cybersecurity information required to perform the assessment
- Identify or discover cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent in the IACS products or system design

FAQ
PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller.
In manufacturing, it acts as the "industrial brain" of a factory. It is a ruggedized computer used to automate hardware—controlling everything from assembly lines and robotic arms to lighting and chemical processing—ensuring high-speed precision and 24/7 reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Manufacturing in Singapore: The Landscape
The demand for PLC skills is driven by Singapore's massive industrial base. According to data from the Singapore Department of Statistics (DOS):
Total Manufacturing Establishments: There are approximately 10,604 manufacturing plants and establishments operating in Singapore (2023 census).
Economic Impact: Manufacturing is a key pillar of the economy, contributing roughly 20% to 25% of Singapore's annual GDP.
Key Sectors: This includes high-tech clusters in Electronics, Chemicals, Biomedical Sciences, and Precision Engineering—all of which rely heavily on PLC automation.
- One to three years of experience in the industrial automation field.
- A technical Degree or Diploma, preferably in Engineering or similar.
