Collaboration within and between teams is essential for keeping up with new technologies and innovations. Multiuser Engineering in TIA Portal enables parallel project work, eliminating the need to wait for others. Centralized project storage and libraries expedite development, reducing coordination efforts.
Modularization is an approach to address the increasing complexity of machines and the need for faster development and production. By breaking down the machine into reusable modules with standardized interfaces and performance, development time and complexity are reduced. This allows for the independent use of these modules in different machines, speeding up the overall development process.
Automated engineering dramatically reduces development time by minimizing errors in the design process. This allows teams to focus on innovative engineering tasks. Starting with automating repetitive tasks, you can gradually transition to a fully automated development process according to your preferences. TIA Portal facilitates the generation of PLC code, HMI visualizations, and modules for complex motion solutions automatically.
On the one hand, this is made possible by a standardized programming guide and a function test as key element in the development process. Based on the module specification, application or unit tests are written while development is still in progress, in order to identify errors at an early stage. In addition, the software can be developed and tested in parallel thanks to the principle of continuous integration based on individual modules.
