Posted 1 Oct 2017 Hello everybody. I need to learn PLC programming. I already have some experience with Ladder language and PLCSIM so now I need a real PLC to do more practice. I was going to buy the following unit: 6ES7211-1BE31-0XB0http://www.eibmarkt.com/isroot/eibmarkt/Files/DatenblattE/NS6102812.pdf It has 6 Di, 4 DO (Relay) and 2 AI, that's more than enough for me to do some practice. Do you think it would be a good idea to buy it? Or maybe this PLC doesn't have some important component or device needed to work properly? (my company will give me the software). Thank you to anyone will help me. Have a nice day, Edoardo 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 3 Oct 2017 I think it would be best if you had a simple project to start with. That way you learn the most I think. A Siemens training course of 1 week is also a good way to get started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 Mar 2018 This CPU is great for practice. it package also with Analog input i think, just add Signal Board (SB) for additional analog output. That would be cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
