Siemens SIMATIC TIA Portal V20 Update 4

Siemens, a leading technology company, is introducing the latest version of the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal V20 Update 4. The engineering framework is designed for improving industrial automation processes. By simplifying workflows and increasing efficiency, it enables faster project development.

TIA Portal Version 20 focusing on performance and efficiency enhancements, and supporting the company’s latest PLCs. Version 20 of the engineering framework is said to enable faster project development by simplifying workflows and improving efficiency.

TIA Portal V20 extends support for new PLCs with motion control and safety functions, such as the latest S7-1200 G2 controller, the S7-1511/S7-1513 PLC, new S7-1500 modular CPUs, a new high-performance CPU, and a new software controller. The Portal provides a human-readable text-based representation of graphical code, simplifying the use of external tools such as GIT or Beyond Compare, as well as code generation to make programming more convenient.

Security functions have also been enhanced, with the ability to connect Simatic PLCs to central user management systems. User management access control (UMAC) allows technicians to access shopfloor devices easily using standard credentials – without compromising security. UMAC is, in turn, connected to a standard identity provider service, such as Microsoft Active Directory or Azure ID, allowing administrators to manage permissions for automation devices in a standard way, as is done in IT infrastructures.

In addition to the new PLC compatibility, program optimisation options have been improved, and a faster program runtime analysis has been implemented for service and maintenance. The new version also offers opportunities to improve efficiency when engineering across different locations: data exchange between TIA Portal, TIA Portal Cloud and Project Server Cloud has been enhanced. This includes a user-friendly edge app, as well as automated cloud backup that ensures the availability of all the latest changes.



TIA Portal is a software and tools package developed by Siemens, which aims to integrate multiple development tools for automation devices from the unification and remodelling of preexisting software such as Simatic Step 7, Simatic WinCC, and Sinamics Starter. The environments are responsible for programming, developing, and configuring Siemens PLCs, HMIs, and frequency inverters. The user's programming logic in TIA Portal follows a structure of blocks, a facilitating agent for the development, maintenance, and diagnostics of machines and industrial processes when developed in a structured and organized way.
