SystemfunktionenTIA Portal Add-InsOverview Add-Ins offer a convenient way to enrich TIAfunctionality using the Openness API Add-Ins are written as .NET programs Add-Ins can be easily shared within a companyand even distributed to third-party vendorsInstallation Add-Ins can be easily installed by copying the .add-in file intothe “Add-Ins/” folder in the TIA Portal installation directory Add-Ins can be activated or deactivated in the Add-Ins taskcard (by default Add-Ins are deactivated) Additional information about the Add-In like the author,description or the required permissions are also shownin the Add-Ins task cardUnrestricted Siemens AG 2018

SystemfunktionenTIA Portal Add-InsBenefits Add-Ins integrate as a part of the TIA Portal environment Add-Ins can be run without having any knowledgeof high-level programming languages Add-Ins are context sensitive. This means they only appearfor the selected objects within a TIA Portal project Add-Ins can also execute Windows system functions, fileor network operations and interact with other applicationUtilizationAdd-Ins can be used inside the following areas of the TIA Portal Project tree Library view Version Control Interface Devices and network viewUnrestricted Siemens AG 2018
