Introduction to the TIA Portal

Introduction
The Totally Integrated Automation Portal, referred to as TIA Portal in the following, offers all
the functions you need for implementing your automation task assembled in a single, cross-
software platform.
The TIA Portal is the first shared working environment for integrated engineering with the
various SIMATIC systems made available within a single framework. The TIA Portal
therefore also enables reliable, convenient cross-system collaboration for the first time.
All required software packages, from hardware configuration and programming to
visualization of the process are integrated in a comprehensive engineering framework.
