various types of instance data blocks and shows step-by-step how to add IEC timers and IEC counters to a
program block.

032-410 Basics Diagnostics S7-1500

In this module, the reader will become acquainted with the tools that support troubleshooting. This module
will present diagnostic functions that, for example, you can test with the TIA project from the SCE_EN_032-
100_FC-Programming with SIMATIC S7-1500 module.

032-420 Diagnostics via the Web S7-1500

In this module, the reader will become acquainted with additional tools that are helpful for troubleshooting.

In particular, we will show you how automated alarm texts can be generated in the TIA Portal for hardware
faults and system errors. These can then be displayed not only in the TIA Portal but also on the display of
the CPU as well as via the web server of the CPU 1516F-3 PN/DP. It is also possible to bring these into the
message windows of HMI systems for viewing.

This module will present advanced diagnostic functions that, for example, you can test with the TIA project
from the SCE_EN_032-410_Basics_Diagnostics with the SIMATIC S7-1500 module.

032-500 Analog Values S7-1500

In this chapter, you will become acquainted with the analog value processing of the SIMATIC S7-1500 with
the TIA Portal programming tool. The module explains the acquisition and processing of analog signals and
gives a step-by-step description of read and write access to analog values in the SIMATIC S7-1500.

032-600 Global Data Blocks S7-1500

In this chapter, you will become acquainted with the use of global data blocks for the SIMATIC S7-1500
with the TIA Portal programming tool. The module explains the structure and creation of and access to
global data blocks for the SIMATIC S7-1500. It also shows the steps for creating a global data block in the
TIA Portal and for accessing this data in the program with read and write access.
