We've established why version control is a game-changer for Rockwell Automation users, offering benefits like enhanced collaboration, reduced downtime, and improved code quality. But how do you actually implement this powerful approach within your existing Rockwell environment?
Enter Copia Automation. We understand the unique needs of Control and Automation engineers, and that's why we've developed a version control solution specifically designed for Rockwell PLC files.
Copia bridges the gap between the familiar world of industrial automation and the proven methodologies of modern software development. We provide intuitive tools that allow your team to leverage the power of Git – the industry-standard version control system – without requiring them to become command-line experts.
Here's how Copia empowers your Rockwell Automation team:
- Seamless Integration: Copia provides a user-friendly desktop application that executes Git commands behind the scenes, allowing your engineers to focus on their code, not complex terminal commands.
- Visual Clarity: Our desktop and web applications offer robust viewing and diffing capabilities specifically for Studio 5000 files. See exactly what has changed, when, and by whom, with clear highlighting.
- Collaborative Code Reviews: Break down silos and improve code quality with commenting features for both text-based and graphical languages like ladder logic. Discuss specific code elements directly within the platform.
- Effortless Merging: Say goodbye to tedious and error-prone manual merging. Copia's intelligent merge tool automates the process of integrating changes from concurrent development, ensuring a cohesive and functional codebase.
- Enhanced Understanding: Copia renders Studio 5000 PLC code in user-friendly interfaces, making it easier for all team members to understand changes during code reviews, regardless of their familiarity with specific code sections.
The unique challenges faced by Control and Automation engineers demand innovative solutions. Copia's Version Control is specifically designed to arm your engineers with a tool that not only increases productivity but also drives significant positive business results.
As the manufacturing industry embraces Industrial DevOps, version control is no longer optional – it's foundational. Copia provides the key to unlocking your Rockwell Automation team's true productive potential. Download the complete whitepaper here.
