Interfacing SCADA with an S7-1200 PLC using mySCADA software

We will learn how to configure a simple SCADA in this practical project. You will have a basic understanding of how to monitor and control a machine using SCADA.

We will be using Siemens S7-1200 as our remote station. Hence, TIA Portal will be used for the configuration and programming of the PLC (S7-1200).

Let’s get started:

  1. Start TIA Portal, click on Create new project, and type the project name (for example, SCADA-PRACTICE), as shown in the following screenshot. Click Create:
