    CVT2: Conversion from TIA Portal to Simatic Manager (S7 Classic)

    Module Description: 

    Many existing systems have been operating reliably for years—until changes become necessary. Different online/offline statuses, a lack of transparency, or unclear procedures can then quickly lead to unplanned downtime and time-consuming troubleshooting. At the same time, many companies are losing valuable expert knowledge regarding the use of S7-300 and S7-400 systems and the SIMATIC Manager.

    In this course, you will systematically build the needed knowledge to implement changes to existing systems safely, in a structured way, and with reduced risk. You will learn to avoid typical mistakes such as incorrect loading of program modifications, unnecessary system downtime, or time-consuming troubleshooting.

    The course provides practical know-how for confidently working with older SIMATIC systems and helps you save time, increase system availability, and ensure that knowledge is retained within the company over the long term.
