Summary
This chapter has given insight into TIA Portal HMI development and what the environment feels like to develop within. The areas explored only touch the surface of what can be configured, visualized, and actioned in runtime. The TIA Portal Unified environment is very powerful and designed well, providing all that is needed to help programmers create smart, efficient, and visually pleasing environments, with minimal work.
The next chapter continues the exploration of the TIA Portal Unified environment. The chapter discusses static and dynamic properties, raising events, and using scripting and dynamization of properties. These make up the basic principles of HMI development in TIA Portal.
