10 What? Standards and Programming language Endless Choices IEC ST / SCL PackML BEUMER Group / 20 What? What is good code??? Seen from my chair: Uniform Structured Well commented Readable (Keep it simple) BEUMER Group / 21 10

11 MACHINE PROGRAMMING IN THE FUTURE HOW? BEUMER Group / 22 How? 1. Auto generation 2. Simulation / Emulation of systems BEUMER Group / 23 11

12 Auto generation -Change S7 Classic TIA and Cost drivers: Uniform Quality Time savings Requirements : Preferred use Robust Simple maintenance Documented BEUMER Group / 24 Preferred Use Easy from A B Consistent Reliable Culture eats Strategy for breakfast! Peter Drucker BEUMER Group / 25 12

13 Auto generation TIAGenTool BEUMER Group / 26 TIAGenTool Who am I? Mikkel Norden Møller (34 y/o) Automation Engineer (Electronic Engineer, IHA BEUMER Group for 3½ years Lead on TIAGenTool (Autogeneration tool) BEUMER Group / 27 13

14 TIAGenTool Cost drivers? Be able to: Merge specific project information with PLC base code to generate complete projects in a One-click operation Parsing of the database before even generating Better version control of deployed code Roll-out updates onsite to selected PLC s BEUMER Group / 28 TIAGenTool Cost drivers? Database has information about: Interface Layout Element identification Motor/Drive types Etc. TIA Base Benefits: Unified and faster project generation Reducing (human) errors Easier maintenance of existing projects BEUMER Group / 29 14

15 TIAGenTool Tool walkthrough Requirements: Use TIA Openness API Executable.NET application written in C# Easy to maintain and adapt/modify BEUMER Group / 30 TIAGenTool Tool walkthrough Pre-study: Capabilities of TIA Openness? TIA Openness examples Simple C# programs to execute various commands Reading documentation V14, V15 Continuous dialogue with Siemens Achieve the easiest and most flexible maintenance possible? AML (HW) Snippets SCL/XML (SW) Snippets Library functions BEUMER Group / 31 15
