AI for TIA Portal — guide
An AI assistant in TIA Portal supports PLC programming with project-wide context: generate SCL blocks, explain and refactor code, and reach the TIA project through MCP tools. AnyAutomation Studio is multi-provider — you choose the LLM instead of being tied to one vendor.
Your provider, your model
Instead of one hard-wired vendor, Studio connects the model of your choice: login providers like Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini) and xAI (Grok), cloud providers by API key (OpenRouter, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek and more), enterprise clouds (Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock) and local servers (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, SGLang). You bring your own key — we don't route requests through our server.
Local, private, no lock-in
For maximum confidentiality, inference runs fully local via Ollama & co. — your TIA projects never leave the machine. That is the difference from a single-vendor copilot tied to one provider: no lock-in, free model choice, a local option. More in AI integration and AI chat. Verify generated code straight away with unit tests and bring it into the project over Openness.
Agentic and parallel
The assistant is not just a chat window: as an agent it drives the whole project through the full tool-set — read, generate, export, import and edit blocks, plus EPLAN, live PLC connections and Forge — and can delegate sub-tasks to specialised sub-agents. And you work on several things at once: Best-of-N runs the same prompt in parallel across several isolated sessions, you compare the results and adopt the best. A vendor-bound copilot offers neither.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI providers are supported for TIA Portal?
AnyAutomation Studio is multi-provider: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google Gemini, xAI (Grok), cloud providers like OpenRouter, Mistral, Groq and DeepSeek, enterprise clouds (Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock) and local servers (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, SGLang).
Can I use Claude, GPT or Gemini in TIA Portal?
Yes. All three are supported — via login or your own API key. You choose the model per task in the chat's model picker.
Does the AI run locally or offline?
Yes. Via Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM or SGLang, inference runs entirely on your own hardware, without any cloud.
Are my TIA projects uploaded to the cloud?
No. Studio works locally; with cloud providers you bring your own API key and requests don't go through our server. For fully local inference, use a local server.
Do I need my own API key?
For cloud providers you bring your own key or login. Local models need no key at all. The AI chat is included from the Basic plan.
