Function
Comparison of compiled offline hardware configuration in TIA Portal with the online
hardware configuration on the device:
• Quick overview
• Distributed I/O for the PLC is taken into account
• Based on checksums and takes user inputs into account
Application
• Offline and online configurations are identical
• Offline and online configurations differ
• User inputs and compiled offline configuration differ:
• Compiling the hardware configuration to apply changes
• Unintentional inputs: "Undo" or re-open project
New
Function
Comparison of two offline configurations at parameter level
• Allows the comparison of PLCs including connected centralized/distributed I/O
• Ideal for comparing the current configuration with a reference configuration
New • An indirect offline/online comparison of the configuration at parameter level is
possible using the intermediate step "Upload"
Note
Intended extensions:
• Filter options
• Assignment of parameters
• Supports further modules
New functions
Open recently used objects
• The menu command "Edit > Open recent object" shows the 20 last used objects
in the order of their last use in TIA Portal
• The view of the list is related to the currently active scope, e.g. to a navigation
view or the editor used
• The lists are available for the following areas:
• Projects and Project Libraries
• Global Libraries
• Multiuser local sessions and server view
• Reference projects
• The menu command "Clear list" removes all entries from the list
• The list of recently used objects is linked to the Windows user profile. Thus, the
list is retained even after the TIA Portal has been closed

TIA Benefits
Portal The complete range of workflows for library and project updates can be performed
using an Openness application with the new library Openness function.
Openness This enables the efficient, automated rollout of an updated library to TIA Portal
projects.
Benefits
The previous access protection for the TIA Portal project differentiated between
read and write access.
With the new function rights, user roles can now be adjusted even more
specifically to responsibilities.
Locking a project
• An open project can be protected against editing by locking it
Benefits
When an operator temporarily leaves the engineering station, locking the project
prevents editing without having to close it.
You leave the station – project gets locked!
Benefits
The "Change user" function allows work on the project to continue in the same
place in the project after a change of user.
You need elevated rights – change the user!
Anonymous user
• This specific type of user requires no authentication
• It can be explicitly activated/deactivated
You want to open a protected project without authentication – • Roles/function rights can be assigned
Export/import of rule sets/test cases Shortcut menu in the application test Further improvements

TIA Portal V17 Single sign-on and smart card (PKI) support
• Supports a secure connection between TIA Portal and Teamcenter via "single
sign-on" (SSO)
• Authentication by means of customized smart card (PKI)
Teamcenter
Benefits
PKI server1
• Secure connection between TIA Portal and Teamcenter
• High level of usability thanks to SSO authentication of the Teamcenter clients1
on the Teamcenter server
• Use of company's own smart cards with PKI simplifies password handling and
increases security

• Central activation/deactivation of the export of TIA Portal objects
(as proxy objects) to Teamcenter
• Joint export of the TIA Portal project together with the proxy objects
as new Teamcenter elements
• Creation of proxy object revisions
• Navigating and opening TIA Portal blocks and UDTs directly
from Teamcenter
• Customizable tool to perform bulk linking of TIA Portal proxy objects and
Teamcenter RAC 12.2 and higher Teamcenter elements. The tool is available in SIOS (Siemens Information
