What is TIA Openness Library Compare?

The “Library Compare” tool gives you the opportunity to compare libraries in Siemens TIA Portal

Using the openness interface, the metadata (version, GUID, name, etc.) of the types and master copies are read out and a comparison is carried out.

TIA Portal Openness is included in the delivery of STEP 7 V17 or WinCC V17 and is installed by default.

The Microsoft Visual Studio project with the TIA Portal Openness functions can be found in the download file in the folder “LibraryCompare-SourceCode”. You find the executable file “LibraryCompare.exe” in the “LibraryCompare application” folder.
