Introduction

The SDA DevOps offering enables automation engineers to version PLC code based on Git and to see the changes in the SDA UI in the browser.

The workflow is structured as follows (see also the chart below):

  1. Create a project entry in the SDA Console and upload an existing project file (e.g., Siemens TIA portal .zap17 file).

  2. Create a repository for the project. SDA will automatically decompose the project into the repository.

  3. Sync your local git client with the SDA remote repository to track your changes while developing the project. Coming soon: Edit the project file in SDA's "IDE-as-a-service" offerings and track the changes in the repository.

  4. If you are ready to release a new version for deployment, you can recompose the project in the SDA console. After recomposition, you can either download the project file or choose to deploy it to the PLC via SDA TechOps.
