Course Overview

The Siemens CEMAT MinAS Basic Training (ST-CEMAT) is a comprehensive 5-day online program designed for commissioning engineers, configuring engineers, service personnel, and maintenance technicians working in the cement and mining industries. This course provides foundational knowledge of CEMAT, a process control system built on SIMATIC PCS7, which is deployed in over 1,200 cement and mining plants globally. Participants gain hands-on familiarity with core control and supervision functions, diagnostic operations, and control modes specific to the Minerals Automation Standard (Project Standard 001). The curriculum is aligned with industry requirements and prepares engineers to effectively manage automation systems in real-world industrial environments.

Students engage with key Siemens technologies including SIMATIC PCS7, the Minerals_Cemat library, CFC (Continuous Function Chart) for block programming, and CEMAT faceplates and symbols for HMI configuration. Through practical exercises conducted in a virtual engineering environment, learners configure and connect CEMAT function blocks, parameterize HMI interfaces, and generate process pictures using standardized CEMAT components. A central hands-on project involves creating a complete PCS7 project for CEMAT, simulating real engineering workflows used in plant commissioning and upgrades. The training leverages the SITRAIN digital learning platform, providing access to over 480 web-based modules, including foundational content on Industrial Ethernet, PROFINET, and SIMIT for virtual controller simulation.

While the CEMAT MinAS Basic Training (ST-CEMAT) does not lead to a standalone certification exam, it is a critical stepping stone for professionals pursuing advanced Siemens automation credentials and plant-specific commissioning roles. Graduates report a 30% increase in operational efficiency when deployed in cement plant automation projects. Koenig Solutions enhances this official Siemens curriculum with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, 1-on-1 instructor support, and access to live labs, ensuring mastery of the courseware. Upon completion, engineers are equipped to lead automation projects in global cement and mining operations, driving digital transformation and process optimization in industrial control environments.
