PART 1: Quick Start (Printed version)

In this book (PART 1) we will get familiar with Siemens PLCs (S7-1500 and S7-1200), the TIA Portal (a programming tool) and the industry environment. At the end we will be able to create a new project and write our first program (“Hello World!”), which we will transfer to the PLC.
