tia-portal-opennessv1.0.0

Machine builders can generate new TIA Portal projects and CPU configurations directly from SCL source files, automatically importing SCL blocks, compiling, and iterating until a clean build is achieved. This eliminates repetitive manual project setup and reduces configuration errors when commissioning new equipment.

Engineers can export all blocks from an existing .ap21 project, have an AI review and refactor the SCL code, then re-import and compile in a loop until the build passes. This enables systematic upgrades of legacy PLC code while preserving project structure and minimizing downtime.

Development teams can use the compile action to check PLC code in an automated CI pipeline, producing detailed error and warning reports with file paths and line details. This brings standard software engineering practices like automated testing and validation to PLC development.

System integrators can create template SCL blocks for standard functions such as motor control, valve control, and PID loops, then programmatically import them into multiple projects. This ensures consistency across plants and dramatically shortens engineering time for multi-line or multi-site rollouts.

Operations teams can open existing projects, export all blocks to a workspace, and archive or audit the SCL source without manual intervention. Automated exports support version control, code review, and compliance checks for safety and production-critical logic.

Offer a packaged CLI/skill that integrates with TIA Portal Openness, charging a monthly or annual subscription per engineer or per site. The tool automates project creation, SCL import, compilation, and reporting, saving hundreds of engineering hours.

Provide consulting and custom integration services to set up automated build, test, and validation pipelines for PLC code within existing engineering workflows. This includes configuring the skill, training teams, and tailoring scripts to client-specific standards.

Develop and license a library of pre-tested, standardized SCL blocks and automation templates that customers can rapidly deploy using the skill. The library is updated regularly and can be imported directly into new or existing projects.
