The TIA Portal is characterized by a software architecture designed for high efficiency and user-friendliness, and is suitable both for first-time users and experienced users. All functions required for parameterization are stored in a task-oriented manner and can be called and executed by the user-friendly, intuitive user interface.

Powerful and task-oriented editors make program creation and configuration of visualization a lot easier. A program editor is available to create sequence controllers, for example, which graphically visualizes the steps. A powerful editor with the SCL (Structured Text) high-level language is available for programming of functions.

Additional functions of the TIA Portal, such as the library concept that can be used to comprehensively manage your own program and blocks for HMI configuration, control as well as drive control, or the test and simulation functions, offer additional convenience and clear time savings during configuration and programming.
