Welcome - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 Getting Started

Welcome

Welcome
Welcome to the Getting Started "TIA Portal V13".
In this Getting Started, we show you an example of how to use the CPU SIMATIC S7-1500
with the TIA Portal to create an automation solution for a "color mixing plant". Video clips will
illustrate the approach for creating a solution for the automation task.
In the first part, you assemble the hardware and prepare your configuration PC.
In the second part, you configure the CPU and HMI visualization using the example of a
color mixing plant.
In addition, you can find options and extensions for your automation solutions.
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens'
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. You can find more information about industrial security on the Internet
