Coordinated working within a team
TIA Portal supports in different ways
Collaboration
in a team
Promote and manage corporate standards
… with global libraries shared in networks in TIA Portal
Connection to PLM tool Teamcenter
… and manage TIA Portal versions flexible
Connection to SCM tools for versioning control
… with TIA Portal Openness (more improvements V15.1/V16)
Work on a project jointly within the team
… and manage it flexibly on a Multiuser server
Easily combine HMI and PLC expertise
… by the use of the PLC Proxy
Shared online commissioning with S7-1500
… with maximum five developers simultaneously on a PLC
… with SIMATIC Units for even faster download scenarios
… less
coordination
work thanks
to systemsupported
management
with perfect
fit for different
customers

Coordinated collaboration within a team
Division of work based on automation tasks
1. Multiple developers share a device
Two developers work on the program of a PLC or an HMI device
in parallel
2. Developers work device-oriented
One developer works on the PLC, a second one on the HMI
3. Developers work technology-oriented
Every developer is responsible for a machine function and
works on both the PLC and HMI part

TIA Portal project server – Overview
TIA Portal project server
• The project server enables convenient editing of TIA Portal projects with
Multiuser Engineering, Multiuser Commissioning and Exclusive Engineering
• In addition to the dedicated project server, a local project server
with restricted functionality is also available
Exclusive session
Advantages of using the project server
• Central storage of projects in the network
• Secure communication over https
• Central user and access management,
e.g. via Windows Domain
• Use of project revisions for
• Interim backups
• Project milestone archiving
• Rollback
• Change log for the synchronized objects
• Automated execution of tasks with scripts
No license needed for the
project server

Simultaneous work on shared project in a team
A shared project
… stored centrally on a Project Server and thus flexibly
accessible
For HMI and PLC
... enables device- or function-based work sharing
System-supported synchronization
... reduces the amount of coordination work in the team
