zenon Basic Training - Energy | zenon 15
This course offers a fast and practical introduction to zenon with a focus on energy applications. Step by step, you will work in the Engineering Studio by building a simple substation project and learning how real energy use cases are implemented. You will also operate your project in the Service Engine and experience how functionality expands as the course progresses. By the end of this course, you will understand the core concepts of zenon.
The course consists of short videos with clear explanations and guided exercises. All tasks, solutions, and helpful tips are included in a task book, and project backups are available to support you throughout the training.
Hints: To actively participate, a zenon Energy license is required. You can use the demo license “Demo DMS & Energy” available in the zenon Startup Tool or contact your sales representative for a license that includes the DMS package.
This course is designed specifically for the energy industry, so basic knowledge of energy systems is recommended. Please note that this is a Basic + Energy course, which means the content moves at a slightly faster pace. If you prefer more time and deeper explanations, the zenon Basic Training - Fundamentals course is a better fit and covers all topics in greater detail.
Smart Objects are only introduced at a basic level here, if you want to explore them in more depth, the zenon Smart Objects course is the ideal next step.
