Book Description

With automation requirements on the rise, Siemens' TIA Portal development environment is almost a necessity for any automation engineer. Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) environment helps seamlessly integrate all things automation, from PLC hardware and software design to HMI development. This book helps you to understand the tools available in the TIA toolbox and shows you how to write code effectively.

The book begins by teaching you the basics of the TIA environment, such as the layout and tools available. Once you've gotten to grips with the environment, you'll find out how to create hardware to write programs against, including adding IO modules and assigning memory for inputs and outputs. Moving ahead, you'll develop logic in all of the languages that TIA Portal offers, such as Ladder, Function Block Diagram, and Structured Text (SCL) (note that Statement List is not covered as a deprecated language), including the newest language, Matrix of Cause and Effect (CEM). You'll also discover how to store standard code in libraries, creating a version control system that is easy to manage and aids standard design. Finally, following the PLC design chapters, you'll learn how to develop HMI applications in TIA Portal's latest Unified hardware.

By the end of this book, you'll be well equipped to begin programming in TIA.
