TwinCAT Engineering Interface Server

In cases where several programmers work on a PLC project, in the past the question kept recurring of how to integrate the work of the different programmers in a single project. Up to now, this was only possible by comparing, importing and copying. The TwinCAT Engineering Interface (ENI) enables tasks to be coordinated via a source code management system. To this end, the TwinCAT Engineering Interface Server is installed on a central server within the network. It provides a shell for a variety of source code management systems. Microsoft Visual Source Safe, MKS Source Integrity and drivers for CVS and PVCS source code management can be operated under this shell. The creation of individual drivers for other tools is possible.

The TwinCAT Engineering Interface Server contains configuration, management and diagnostic programs. Once the appropriate database has been selected, the connected users have to be configured with passwords and individual rights. A diagnostic tool offers the option of displaying which user is carrying out what tasks in what objects, independent of the database used.
