Course Overview

The Siemens IEC 60870-5-101/104 Training (IC-TC-IEC) is a specialized two-day online course designed for programmers, commissioning engineers, and maintenance personnel working in energy, transport, water & wastewater, and oil & gas sectors. This training equips participants with the skills to structure, parameterize, and commission IEC 60870-5 Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) using SIMATIC S7-1200, ET200SP, and S7-1500 controllers. As telecontrol technology becomes increasingly critical for monitoring and controlling geographically dispersed industrial systems, demand for expertise in IEC 60870-5 protocols has grown significantly across utility and infrastructure organizations worldwide. The course prepares professionals to implement secure and efficient long-distance communication between outstations and central control centers.

Participants engage with key Siemens technologies including TIA Portal, TIM1531, CP1542-SP-1 IRC, CP1243-8 IRC, and SIMATIC Net IEC 60870-5 RTUs through hands-on virtual labs conducted in a cloud-based TIA Portal environment. Students configure IEC 60870-5 connections, set up time synchronization, transfer analog and Boolean values with timestamping, and execute command operations such as Select and Operate with feedback. A core lab exercise involves building a functional RTU system based on S7-1200 or S7-1500 controllers and establishing peer-to-peer communication between RTUs over IP/Ethernet (-104) and serial (-101) networks. These practical exercises simulate real-world scenarios like remote plant monitoring and decentralized process control in large-scale infrastructure projects.

While the Siemens IEC 60870-5-101/104 Training (IC-TC-IEC) does not lead to a standalone certification exam, it contributes to broader Siemens Certified Expert pathways in industrial automation and networking. Professionals gaining proficiency in IEC 60870-5 protocols are well-positioned for roles in substation automation and SCADA system integration, where salaries for automation engineers range from $80,000 to $120,000 annually depending on region and experience. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Siemens courseware, and access to expert trainers, ensuring consistent delivery. Graduates of this program are equipped to design and maintain robust telecontrol systems that support modern smart grid and industrial IoT initiatives.
