Online Intro Training Course Recommendations

[BobLfoot 302]

Old Wizard here with 36 years PLC Experience ranging from Omron, Toshiba, Ge, Mitsubishi, PLC Direct and Rockwell Automation.  Have never had cause to get serious about learning/using Siemens PLC until this year.  Turns out next year I have a new machine coming with two S7-400 CPU.  Any recommendations on good online training videos or training resources?

Bob,

I'm not a Siemens expert, but here's a few things I've collected over the years.

 - Siemens does a "Merge Logix with TIA Portal" online class every month.  It's designed for experienced Rockwell programmers. 

I took the in person class years ago, so I'm not sure how good this one is.  It shows as a free for me, but I didn't finish the enrollment process to find out.

- Here's a link to some Siemens self learning training documents:

- These videos helped, but most of the in depth ones appear to be subscription based on their website:
