Continuous Integration with TIA Portal - 3 main parts for

transparency and efficiency in development processes

Team Engineering Source Control Continuous Integration

• Multiple programmers work as

a team on one TIA Portal project

• Based on a standardized

programming guide

• Collaboration and

transparency of software changes

• Team Engineering - MultiUser

• Record changes to software

objects and documents

• Coordination of joint access

to objects by multiple developers

• simultaneous processing of a project via

several development branches


• Automatically generate a build from

the individual software modules

• Automatically test the

software functions

• Test results as a report

to the programmers

• Test Suite

Multiuser

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 – Single User Project on server

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

Single User session

Filters for conflict detection

Multiuser

TIA Portal project server - Improved check-in features

• Extended check-in at check-in

• New filters for fast conflict detection

• Changed objects are saved to a check-in

• Export the project history in XML for further

evaluations

Working with libraries in the TIA Portal

Advantages• Increased reusability thanks to

storage of software and

hardware elements

• Support of comprehensive

master copies as well as of

small software units

• Integrated and system-

supported versioning of

changes

Use a simple drag & drop

to any automation objects



Program Blocks, UDTS, Faceplates can be drag &

dropped into the “Type folder” to be managed versions



Define Version, Author

TIA Portal – Version Control Interface in V16

Overview

• VCI offers a connection to standard versioning tools

• Using existing versioning environment

• Enables versioning of program objects

• Provides a context specific script interface to control

repository actions

• to adapt to the repository functions of different versioning tools

• Allows to configure own preferred tools, for comparison,

• to start them in TIA Portal via context menu Git Adapter SVN Adapter TFS Adapter

TIA Portal Test Suite

… add on option for engineering framework

The Test Suite is a new TIA Portal option package (licensed)

• Create and confirm compliance of programming style guides

• Create and run application tests on PLCSIM Advanced

➢ Objectives is to drive a higher quality of the program delivered within automation solutions

After installation “Test Suite” can be found in the

project navigation tree within the project tree.

There are two nodes:

• Styleguide

• Application test

Styleguide checker

Function

• With the help of the following rules, programming

guidelines can be created for PLC tags, blocks,

block interface and UDTs

• Name Length

• Name Contains

• Prefix

• Case verification

• Block/tag properties

(check as to whether a block comment exists, for

example)

• Within a TIA project, the check for

observance of the rules can be started by the user

• The results of this check are output in the TIA Portal

Using the GoTo function, the location with the rule

violation is opened

Customer benefits

• Simple definition of programming guidelines in the TIA Portal

• Quick tracing and fixing of violations against the programming guidelines

• Consistent program code is ensured

Application Test with S7-1500

Function

• Creating test cases to define tests for a single block

or a complete application

• Test case contains variable definition (optional)

and test steps.

•

One step can contain:

➢ Value assignments to PLC tags (DB members, I/O tags)

➢ RUN statement: Number of CPU cycles / period of time

➢ Asserts: Compare actual values with expected values

and create log entry

• “Run test cases” executes the following steps automatically:

➢ Create PLCSIM Advanced instance

➢ Download specific project to PLCSIM Advanced instance

➢ Execute tests

➢ Delete PLCSIM Advanced instance

➢ Display test results

Page 48 Digital Industries - Factory Automation

Function

• Textual editor for creating test cases of an S7 application

• In each test case, local aliases can be optionally defined for PLC

tags and multiple test steps for checking the application can be

created. A single test step consists of

• Value assignment for one/multiple global PLC tags (DB/PLC

tags)

• RUN statement: Number of CPU cycles/runtime

• Asset: After the time has elapsed, the current value of a

tag is compared with a defined value.

• The following steps are automatically performed by the

user after the test has been started

• Creation of a PLCSIM Adv. instance

• Download of the CPU selected in the project to the PLCSIM Adv.

• Test execution and subsequent deletion of the PLCSIM instance

• Output of test results in the TIA Portal


Application test with S7-1500

Customer benefits

• Support of a test-driven development for S7 programs

• Only tested code is deployed on a real machine

• Continuous regression tests guarantee

permanently reliable code quality
