Write your own applications with external development environments, for example, a code generator for HMI screens and PLC blocks. You can use the API interface of WinCC and STEP 7 in TIA Portal to integrate TIA Portal in your development environment and automate your engineering tasks. for calling self-created scripts to control the versioning system used from TIA Portal.for connecting connect external comparison tools, such as “Beyond Compare”.from the TIA project and displays the current comparison status at the object. VCI offers the export or import of all program components, such as blocks, user data types, etc. The Version Control Interface (VCI) enables the connection and use of any versioning system e.g. Consequently, the project history is therefore available to you at all times. If required, you can also roll back to the individual revisions and thus restore an older working version.

A new revision of the server project is created as soon as you have transferred your changes to the server project. The project server is exclusively reserved for you and locked for other users as long as you work in your exclusive local session. Working with Exclusive Engineering has the advantage that you work in an exclusive local session and the TIA Portal project server becomes the central data storage for your projects.

In TIA Portal as of V16, you have the option to work with Exclusive Engineering. Automated execution of tasks with scripts.Change log for the synchronized objects.Use of project revisions for: Intermediate backups, archiving of project milestones and rollback of project revisions.Central user and access management, e.g.Central storage of projects in the network.You can use the functionality of the project server to work with multi-user engineering, multi-user commissioning, and now exclusive engineering.

TIA Portal V16 enables you to work conveniently with the TIA project server. TIA project server (formerly Multiuser Server)
