Siemens supplies product data to EPLAN Data Portal that can also be retrieved in Siemens Mall and through the CAx Download Manager.Even after many years of TIA Portal development, every now and then I come across another cool feature that I either was not aware of or have never had a chance to try. Applications such as the TIA Portal and EPLAN are integrally supplied with the same source data. This exchange of the bus addresses with the dependencies between the slave and master configuration is designed to simplifiy the collection and documentation of the bus data, while simultaneously improving the overview of it.PLC Rack data and symbolic addresses can be exchanged bidirectionally between EPLAN and the TIA Portal.EPLAN and Siemens have been cooperating extensively for years with the goal to effectively combine electrical engineering with PLC programming. The bus/network topology also contains the wiring of the racks and bus ports to each other. The new interface, between EPLAN and the Siemens TIA Portal, supports users by correctly assigning the PLC program’s symbolic addresses to the relevant hardware addresses, which in turn simplifies wiring the inputs and outputs. These assignment lists delineate how and which physical inputs and outputs are allocated.
In addition to relieving electrical engineers of manual designing tasks, this integration also facilitates better cooperation between electrical and mechanical groups.Configuration & Change ControlUsers are enabled to exchange, edit, and compare PLC data at every stage of the project and in every direction. This data is now initially created in the TIA Portal, then imported into EPLAN Electric P8, where a schematic is generated using the data. For example, at the start of the design process in EPLAN Electric P8, electrical engineers may save time, because data is no longer entered manually.
The integration with TIA Portal Connection is based on Automation ML, a neutral and universal format for data exchange, according to IEC 62424/IEC 62714.Why the TIA Portal Integration?Time-saving was a focus for EPLAN’s integration. Relevant data can be exchanged between the different workstations of electrical engineers and PLC programmers increasing productivity, decreasing errors, and increasing quality.
