Standardized machine engineering

Machines are becoming more and more complex, and at the same time they have to be developed and produced in ever shorter periods of time. Without standardization, each machine must be designed from scratch. Modularizing the machine reduces complexity and minimizes development time. The machine is broken down into technologically stand-alone modules that can be developed independently and extensively tested. The ready-made modules have a standardized interface and behavior and can be created using a library concept. This means that these modules can be used independently in different machines.

Fast and efficient engineering

through Automation Framework and libraries for automation technology

 

 

TIA Portal enables efficient engineering. With the Automation Framework, it offers a structured approach for the development and management of automation projects and ensures efficient and consistent programming, configuration and commissioning of SIMATIC PLCs, HMIs and SINAMICS drives.

Standardized libraries play a crucial role within this framework to enhance efficiency and consistency.

The libraries contain uniformly designed and tested functions, ready for each machine type easy to integrate into the TIA Portal project.

 

Flexible Machine Engineering with Module Type Package (MTP)

 

The Module Type Package (MTP) standard enables plug & produce functionality with pre-tested components, allowing for flexible responses to market changes and optimized HMI.

Engineer devices and machines before set-up​

 

PROFINET and the TIA Portal simplify machine engineering by facilitating pre-setup engineering for devices and machines. This approach ensures robust and reliable network configurations while providing simplified, vendor-independent engineering for motion, safety and security.
