Siemens Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal

Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) from Siemens is an automation engineering framework that gives users unrestricted access to the complete range of digitalized automation services, from digital planning to integrated engineering and transparent operation. The vendor states users will shorten time to market with the aid of simulation tools, boost the productivity of the plant using additional diagnostic and energy management functions, and increase flexibility via connections to the management level.

TIA Portal lets users integrate key components in an automation project, including safety, security, control, HMI, drives, decentralized peripherals, motion control, and power distribution, to experience fewer repeated inputs, a shared database, and a standardized user interface for all tasks help reduce engineering time.

Via TIA Portal, SIMATIC STEP 7 users can configure, program, test, and diagnose the Basic, Advanced and Distributed Controllers of all generations, whether PLC- or PC-based, including software controllers.
