TIA Openness Manager
Streamline Your Siemens TIA Portal Workflow
A powerful desktop application for managing Siemens TIA Portal projects. Import, export, compare, and analyze your PLC code with ease. Features AI integration via Model Context Protocol (MCP) for intelligent automation.

Key Features
Everything you need to manage TIA Portal projects efficiently

Import & Export
Bulk export hundreds of blocks with a single click. Supports Simatic ML XML and SCL formats. Preserves TIA Portal folder structure, automatic compilation after import, and configurable folder names. ExclusiveAccess + Transaction pattern for maximum stability.

HMI Export/Import
Complete HMI support: Export and import screens, screen templates, HMI tag tables, VB scripts, connections, text lists, and graphic lists. Full support for WinCC Unified HMI panels.

Difference Comparison
Fingerprint-based comparison for fast change detection without full export. Detects modified, new, and deleted blocks. Detailed diff viewer shows differences line by line. Selective re-export of only changed blocks.

Code Editor
Built-in editor with syntax highlighting for SCL, STL, and other languages. View block details like number, language, and author. Quick navigation with search in project tree. Navigate your project with the hierarchical tree view.

Protection System
Protect important blocks from accidental overwriting. Save and load protection profiles. Visual marking of protected blocks. Hierarchical protection for entire folders or individual blocks.

AI Integration (MCP)
Model Context Protocol server for AI assistant integration. Generate SCL code, create Data Blocks, UDTs, and Tag Tables. Auto-import generated code directly into TIA Portal. AI can read and analyze existing blocks.
