TIA Toolbox
- Automates repetitive configuration work in TIA Portal projects
- From your Excel data to a compiled, saved project
- For medium to large TIA projects
About TIA Toolbox
On medium and large Siemens TIA Portal projects, much of the configuration follows a pattern: devices, data blocks, tags and block interconnections. TIA Toolbox takes that data, usually from Excel, checks it, writes it into the TIA project, compiles the project and reports any errors. Your engineers spend their time on the parts that need engineering.
Features
Script the repetitive work once and run it on every project.
Automated
Configuration steps run automatically instead of by hand.
Less engineering time
Fewer hours spent on repetitive configuration.
Quality
Every change is checked with an automatic project compile.
Easy to use
A straightforward interface for engineers.
Workflow
From your data to a compiled TIA project in one run.
- You supply the configuration data, usually in Excel
- TIA Toolbox checks it for common errors and consistency
- It writes the data into the TIA Portal project
- It compiles the project and checks for compile errors
- It saves the project in TIA Portal
Data access
Read and write TIA objects: projects, devices, data blocks, tags and more.
- Connect program block inputs and outputs programmatically
- Transfer configuration data to TIA Portal and compile it, with a check for compiler errors
- Run the whole sequence as a single operation
Data exchange
Import and export TIA objects in the formats you already use.
- Microsoft Excel
- TIA formats such as XML, AWL and SCL
- Your own databases (on request)
Project management
Open, change and save TIA Portal projects without manual steps.
- Opening, compiling and saving projects is automated
- Every action is written to the application log
- The project history shows what changed and when
Benefits for Managers
What TIA Toolbox gives your organisation:
- Quality: configuration changes are verified by an automatic compile
- Efficiency: repetitive engineering steps run automatically
- Cost: fewer engineering hours per project, which helps when bidding
