Hello,
Currently I am looking for a solution to control PLC programs versions, for that I found out SDA( Software Defined Automation), I would like to know if it’s a safe solution to use, and if it’s practical, and have anyone use it before ?
Hi.
I have not tested this, but here is what I think.
There are several SDA platforms, but Wago use CODESYS IDE that are yet not compatible for web based programming, readable target project files etc. CODESYS has announced that their new plattform (based on SDA principles) is named CODESYS Go! It’s not released.
It’s possible to buy license from other companies allready doing SDA where you need to install another 3. party runtime (not CODESYS) where vendor lock for installation/access is removed. Normally this company have tested this solution on the device.
For the just versioning there are allready solutions also for CODESYS.
Hi,
i think you mean the Company SDA?
They provide a Cloud Infrastructure with your own Subscription as SAAS Solution.
including Version Control in a matter of uploading your Project, typing Change Notes, its not comparable with GIT or SVN.
SDA needs a Edge Computer or other 64bit CPU to upload their Gateway Software which handles the Connection to the SDA Cloud.
you need minimum one Gateway, where you can connect several Controllers through.
This Agent will establish the Connection to the Controller via Encrypted Communication.
Then you are able to upload your Project, make changes, etc.
They also offer a Browser Based Engineering.
you can use a 30 days trial and make your experience. but i dont know if every Firmware of Wago Controllers is supported.
I tried it but it doesn’t response on our need, we need a compelte tool that can do all the management of projects
I have seen some informations about it , it looks interested, but it manage only codesys project, while for example ecockpit project can’t be managed with it
That what I was talking about, I am interested about their tools, but I don’t know if it’s a trusted company, I saw in their website , that they have partenariat with Wago and Codesys, and also in terms of cybersecurity is it safe to integrate it in a large company?
