ScriptSync: PLC Code Collaboration

Users struggle with clunky, disjointed workflows when editing PLC scripts—exporting from Tia Portal, editing in VS Code, and reimporting back—leading to inefficiencies and errors. ScriptSync offers an integrated, cloud-based IDE that seamlessly syncs with Tia Portal and Arduino PLC environments, providing real-time editing, version control, and automated export/import to streamline development.

Comment on: Arduino PLC IDE

Oh this is interesting. Tia Portal v19 has this clunky capability in which you can export, edit, reimport all scripts of a project via a vscode extension that communicates with the Tia Portal process. All that effort just to have better autocompletion, but the export/import loop feels inefficient & some scripts just can’t be exported.
