Tired of Trial and Error?

Ever tried setting up a shift register and just couldn’t get it to work right?  Yeah, same here.

You tried watching a bunch of YouTube videos, stringed together some logic, and hoped for the best. It kind of worked… until it didn't after installing it at a customer.

Honestly, I didn’t even fully get what the shift register was supposed to do or how it was meant to fit into my program.

But here’s the thing - there is a better way to do it. And once you see it, it just clicks.

Have you tried Siemens forums?

Ever typed "shift register" into the Siemens forums?
Boom - 417 results. Now you're stuck scrolling through page after page, hoping maybe one of them actually helps.

After a while, it just feels like a giant waste of time.
You start thinking: “Maybe I’m just overcomplicating this… or maybe I’m not cut out for this stuff”.

What you really want is a clear, simple way to integrate a shift register in your application - no fluff, no guesswork. Something that makes sense and just works.

Hang in there - because that answer? It exists.

 

Introducing...

THE SHIFT REGISTER

A Practical Example of Arrays in TIA Portal 

 

No more bouncing between random YouTube videos and Siemens forums, trying to piece together the info you need to build a shift register.

I’ve put together a complete project using a bottling line with 7 different process modules to demonstrate how a shift register tracks bottles and collects data at every step of the process.

Simply download the PLC template application and the guide, and start integrating my proven, time-tested structures and logic into your own PLC applications.

 

Here's What You Get

Building Shift Registers the Right Way


I’ve been working with shift registers for over 20 years, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey of trial and error. Throughout that time, I’ve had the opportunity to set up shift registers on dozens of production lines for multiple clients. Along the way, I’ve learned some key concepts that are essential for any shift register setup.

That’s exactly why I created The Shift Register template PLC application and guide. It’s not just theory, it’s a hands-on, step-by-step guide that shows you how to structure your shift register process data with UDTs, and how to build reusable, self-contained function blocks to handle all the key array and shift register logic for tracking products along a production line. 

This is the kind of resource I wish I had when I was first getting into building shift registers, and now you can skip all the mistakes I made along the way.

What will you learn?

Using the downloadable PLC template and step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to integrate a clean, modular shift register into your own project.

You'll learn:

  • How to integrate a shift register into a PLC application, using a bottling line as a real-world case study
  • How to structure all shift register data inside a single, well-organized UDT for easy management
  • How to use arrays to track product data across each position on the line
  • How to build reusable, self-contained function blocks that handle the shift register logic
  • How to connect each process module (e.g., filling, capping) to the shift register using a consistent read/write structure

But also:

  • How a new software layer is added on top of an existing PLC application

  • How new data structures are combined with the application’s existing data

Who is this for?

You are...

  • already comfortable working in TIA Portal (ideally, you’ve gone through my PLC Programming Basics course)
  • a PLC programmer who wants to get hands-on with arrays in TIA Portal
  • curious about how shift registers work and how to integrate them into real PLC projects
  • using TIA Portal V14 SP1 or later (this project is compatible all the way up to TIA V20)
