Time-saving configuration means: delegating tasks. In this development, the TIA Portal represents the next logical step: from similar to shared, from related to integrated.Īn operating philosophy and a data model without loss of functionality.

The look and feel of the software products also became more uniform under the influence of office software.

Only with the increasing importance of software ergonomics did software developers begin to look beyond their own tool and begin to include the approaches of other developers with regard to user interfaces in their considerations. Engineering software was developed to the point where it became a highly specialized, tailored tool for a given task. The shared framework, uniform interface, and the same type of configuration of comparable automation tasks ensures a short familiarization period with a high recognition value.įor decades, the development of automation software was aimed at more functionality and more efficiency. For the first time, the TIA Portal combines the engineering systems for the diverse automation tasks.
