Automated Engineering

 

Automated engineering enables development time to be drastically reduced  by cutting down the number of potential errors during the design process. That frees up time which your teams can use for innovative engineering tasks – extra motivation for highly qualified engineers. You can start by automating repeated tasks and then scale up to a fully automated development process to suit your preferences. Using TIA Portal you can generate PLC code, HMI visualizations, and modules for complex movement solutions automatically.

Generation of PLC code and machine visualization

 

Our goal is to drastically reduce engineering time while minimizing errors. By automating manual tasks, you can free up valuable time for more innovative and meaningful work. Our solution empowers your highly skilled engineers to focus on what they do best.

 

TIA Portal Openness is the integrated API  for WinCC and STEP 7 in the TIA Portal enables the TIA Portal to be integrated into your development environment to automate your engineering tasks. You can use external development environments to create your own applications, e.g. a code generator for HMI images and PLC software blocks.

The application fields are limitless!

 

With SIMATIC Visualization Architect (SiVArc) we provide an additional TIA Portal option package for rule-based generation of visualization projects.

The SIMATIC Visualization Architect (SiVArc) enables simple, fast, flexible and automated creation of HMI contents based on the STEP 7 user program.

Module based generation

 

When confronted with more complex machine projects in the field of motion control applications, the Modular Application Creator comes into play.

 

A simple parametrization of an Equipment Module is the starting point for the generation of the automation project. This is performed in a technological view that maps this application in its specific input options. Examples are axes names, setting parameters from mechanical design.

 

The Modular Application Creator then generates the entire TIA Portal project and is able to provide you with an exact behaviour model for later simulation and testing with SIMIT.

Efficient configuration of energy data acquisition

 

Sustainability and with it Energy Management, is a mandatory part of industrial automation.

Yet, Energy Management is not a main task of most automation developers.

 

The SIMATIC Energy Suite is an option package for the TIA Portal. Its tasks include the acquisition and processing of energy data, as well as their visualization using WinCC Comfort/Advanced/Professional/Unified. It significantly simplified project planning due to automatic generation of an energy program instead of programming.

 

With simple configuration the SIMATIC Energy Suite is able to provide a standardization automation project for the acquisition and visualization of energy data, by a click of a button.
