This optional lesson covers the basics of adding hardware into Siemens TIA Portal. It is aimed at anyone who is new to TIA Portal or not yet comfortable with setting up hardware and basic device configuration.

The video starts in the project tree with an empty S7-1500 configuration. It explains how to add a CPU manually by dragging it from the hardware catalog onto the rail, and what changes occur in the project once the CPU is added.

Basic CPU setup is covered, including security settings, access levels, and communication options. The lesson explains why these settings can be left open during development and adjusted later if required.

The video then walks through adding a power supply module and explains its position on the rail. From there, it covers adding common IO modules such as digital inputs, digital outputs, analog inputs, and mixed analog modules using simple drag and drop actions.

Module properties are briefly introduced, including start addresses, failure behavior, and channel configuration. The lesson explains where these settings are found and why they become important later when mapping physical signals to asset data.

Templates and per channel configuration options are also discussed, showing how individual signals can be configured differently when required.

By the end of the lesson, you will understand how to build a basic PLC hardware configuration in TIA Portal. This provides enough knowledge to follow along with later lessons where hardware configuration is required, without going deeper than necessary at this stage.

Latest Tip

Higher-level assets represent composed functionali Higher-level assets represent composed functionality. Releasing them without aligned dependencies would introduce ambiguity and instability.

TIA Portal enforces this by prompting for release of all dependent types when a top-level object is promoted. This guarantees that every internal reference points to a valid default version.

This approach shifts responsibility to the engineer to think in terms of systems, not isolated blocks. It aligns well with Asset Oriented Programming principles.

Using top-level releases as milestones helps maintain a clear evolution path and simplifies rollback decisions if issues are discovered later.
