Graphical Blocks

AI Writes Graphical PLC Blocks: LAD and FBD in an IDE (YouTube)

  • A graphical LAD or FBD block can be shown as its networks or as its source text, switched in the block editor.
  • An edit typed into the source text of a graphical block, including new elements and network titles, is saved back into the project on TIA Portal V20 and newer.
  • The assistant reads, edits and uploads graphical LAD and FBD blocks the same as it works with text blocks, and reports the compile result so it can fix any errors itself.

Project Security

Project Security and User Management for a TIA Portal Project (YouTube)

  • Security settings and user management open from the project tree: the project protection and the password policies on one page, the users, user groups and roles on another.
  • Users and the password policies are edited in Studio and written back to the project (Pro).
  • Passwords are set from Studio with the project's own password rules checked as you type (Pro).
  • Roles and their engineering and runtime rights are edited in Studio, and new roles and custom runtime rights are created and deleted (Pro).
  • An unprotected project is given its first administrator and protection from Studio, after a confirmation that this cannot be undone (Pro).
  • The assistant reads the security settings, the users, the user groups, the roles and the rights of a project.
  • The assistant changes a project's users, its anonymous user and its password settings on request, and previews every change before writing (Pro).
  • The assistant creates roles and sets the engineering and runtime rights each one carries (Pro).

TIA Portal

  • A hardware change TIA Portal does not accept is reported with its reason, in the editor and in the assistant (Pro).
  • The project library shows whether a type is a faceplate, a script module or a block type, with every version and its state under it.
  • A library type opens in its own view with its versions and where it is used.
  • A version of a library type is created, released, discarded, set as default and deleted from the project tree (Pro).
  • A library type is exported as documents in the formats TIA Portal offers for it, and a type or a new version of a type is imported from documents (Pro).
  • The assistant reads the types of the project library, exports and imports as documents the types TIA Portal offers a format for, finds where a type is used, and creates, releases, discards, sets as default and deletes the versions of a type (Pro).
  • The Project Explorer shows the networks of the project, with their subnets and the interfaces that sit on them (Pro).

  • A fail-safe PLC data type opens as editable source on TIA Portal V20 and newer and, with the safety login, is saved back into the project.
  • Fail-safe PLC data types stay fail-safe through export and import.
  • Fail-safe items that cannot be imported without the safety login are named, with a button to log in (Pro).
  • A project that cannot be opened names the reason, and a protected project's password prompt gives up after three wrong passwords.
  • An item marked as protected, or kept in a marked folder, is never overwritten by an import, an editor save or the assistant.
  • The Compare Editor names why an item could not be compared, for example a block that is not compiled, a project that compiled with errors or a safety program that must be logged in first.
  • A file that differs from the project only in its line endings is shown as unchanged in the Compare Editor.
  • An import and export profile keeps the data type format choice with its other settings.
  • Exported F-signatures are saved as a tab-delimited text file (Pro).
  • Exported blocks keep uniform line endings.

Project Search

  • A project opened without TIA Portal is searched: the code of its SCL and STL blocks, and its data blocks, PLC data types and tag tables in the form the editor shows them (Pro).
  • The search page opens beside the project tree when a project is open, with or without TIA Portal.
  • Replacing in a project opened without TIA Portal keeps the changed blocks for the session, to be exported or saved as files (Pro).
  • A fail-safe PLC data type outside a software unit is searched in its source text on TIA Portal V20 and newer, and a match opens it at the matched line.

WinCC Unified

  • The object and property columns of the screen editor can be resized and keep their width.
  • A screen and its objects are drawn with their own background and fill colours, including gradients and hatch patterns, and an object without a fill is drawn without one.
