TIA Portal: The basis for end-to-end automation with TRIPS

The TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation) is the central platform for the end-to-end automation of industrial production systems. As a powerful engineering framework, it enables the seamless planning, programming and monitoring of machines and processes. Thanks to the standardised user interface and the complete integration of all automation components, the TIA Portal simplifies the entire engineering process and increases efficiency in production.

Your Siemens Expert Partner for powerful TIA Portal applications

As a Siemens Expert Partner for TIA Portal applications, TRIPS offers customised solutions for companies that want to optimise their automation processes and future-proof their production systems. With our in-depth expertise in industrial and process automation, we help you to utilise the full potential of the TIA Portal.

Advantages of the TIA portal in automation:

  • Consistent automation: A central platform for all control, visualisation and drive systems
  • Shorter engineering times: Standardised workflows and reuse of programming modules increase efficiency
  • Easy integration of new machines: Scalable solutions facilitate the connection and expansion of existing systems
  • Reduced costs: Optimised processes and minimal downtimes increase productivity and reduce operating costs.

Your specialist for TIA Portal - FAQs

As a Siemens Expert Partner for TIA Portal applications, TRIPS offers comprehensive services for efficient industrial and process automation. This includes

  • PLC programming and optimisation with SIMATIC S7-1200/S7-1500
  • HMI and SCADA solutions with WinCC for optimum process visualisation
  • Integration of drive systems and robotics into existing automation solutions
  • Migration of older control systems to the modern TIA Portal platform

Yes, STEP 7 is integrated into the TIA Portal and is used for programming and configuring SIMATIC S7 controllers. While earlier versions of STEP 7 were stand-alone software, it is integrated into the TIA Portal as a central development environment for PLC programming, diagnostics and communication.

The TIA Portal is a centralised engineering platform for the automation of industrial plants. It enables:

  • Programming and configuration of Siemens PLC controllers (S7-1200, S7-1500)
  • Visualisation and process control with WinCC HMI and SCADA systems
  • Drive integration for SINAMICS frequency inverters
    Network management and simulation for optimised control systems

TIA Portal supports older Siemens controllers such as S7-300 and S7-400, but not all functions are fully backwards compatible. In many cases, migration to S7-1500 is recommended to take advantage of the latest features and higher performance.

As a Siemens Expert Partner, TRIPS supports companies in migrating older control systems to modern TIA Portal technologies to ensure efficient and future-proof automation.

TIA Portal supports a wide range of SIMATIC and Siemens automation devices.

These primarily include controllers such as:

  • S7-1200
  • S7-1500
  • S7-300
  • S7-400
  • LOGO! systems
  • Various ET-200 I/O modules
  • SINAMICS drives (such as G120 and G120C)
  • WinCC Unified Panels
  • Basic and Comfort Panels

Infrastructure components such as SCALANCE switches and standards such as OPC UA are also supported.This compatibility is continuously being expanded and can be updated via Hardware Support Packages (HSPs) that Siemens provides for each TIA Portal version – for example, new HSPs for TIA Portal V21, V20, V19, and V18, which integrate additional modules.

The exact support always depends on the respective combination of TIA version, device firmware version, and installed HSPs. Siemens therefore recommends checking compatibility and firmware versions using the official compatibility tool, as TIA Portal only supports firmware versions that are approved for the respective version
