tia-simatic-drives

tia-simatic-drives is a skill for Claude Code from Czarnak/totally-integrated-claude. It costs 58 tokens per session (741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A C# toolkit for engineering Siemens drives in TIA Portal, including Startdrive, SINAMICS, and SIMATIC Drive Controller projects. It works with drive settings, communication telegrams, PROFIdrive properties, and integrated drive configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find drives and drive objects, read or change parameters, configure telegrams, work with drive safety and security settings, and handle Startdrive download or upload checks.
Why use it?
It provides drive-specific operations in the engineering language required by the TIA Portal Openness workflow. This helps avoid using general PLC or HMI methods for drive configuration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tia-simatic-drives scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Scope

Startdrive and drive-specific engineering — full C# Openness implementation.

When the roadmap routes here, the entire solution is C#. Do not mix with Python wrapper calls. Always load tia-csharp-common first (done by roadmap).


Reference files

Reference file Load when the task involves
references/drives-overview.md Core patterns for Startdrive/SINAMICS engineering (Navigate, Parameters, Telegrams, DFI, Safety, Security)
references/motion-control.md Detailed reference for Siemens.Engineering.MC namespaces (Drives, DFI, SecurityObjects, Enums)
references/download.md Startdrive-specific and common Download/Upload check configurations
references/api-catalogue.md Complete inventory of all 64 public types in the installed V21 Startdrive module

Execution pattern

  1. Confirm the task is drive-specific (Startdrive, SINAMICS, drive controller, PROFIdrive)
  2. Read references/drives-overview.md
  3. Resolve the drive device and drive object using exact selectors; recursively traverse nested device items and fail on zero or ambiguous matches
  4. Get DriveObjectContainer via GetService<>() on the device item to access DriveObjects
  5. Use DriveObject.Parameters for parameter access, .Telegrams for telegram find/insert/erase/size operations
  6. Use GetService<DriveFunctionInterface>() for commissioning, motor/encoder config, DFI, and drive-object activation/type handling
  7. For download/upload handling, include Startdrive-specific check configurations from Siemens.Engineering.Download.Configurations and Siemens.Engineering.Upload.Configurations
  8. For network/PROFIdrive timing — see tia-networks/references/subnets-and-nodes.md

Safety boundary

  • Require explicit live-operation authorization for online parameter writes, download/upload, factory reset, RAM-to-ROM copy, drive encryption/UMAC changes, and Safety commissioning.
  • Require explicit mutation authorization for offline parameters, telegrams, drive-object type/activation, motor/encoder projection, Technology Extension install/uninstall, and report overwrite.
  • Bind exact selectors to the project, device, nested DeviceItem, drive-object number, parameter name/number/index, telegram type, and requested value. Never use .First(), [0], or catalog-order assumptions.
  • Inventory current parameters, telegrams, topology, safety/security state, Technology Extensions, and dependent PLC/HMI configuration before mutation. Factory reset, encryption deactivation, forced package removal, and telegram deletion are destructive.
  • Inspect every boolean result and every download/upload configuration. Unknown or unsupported configurations fail closed; never approve all checks automatically.
  • Secrets must arrive as SecureString from the caller's approved secret source. Never embed, print, persist, or reconstruct passwords in examples.
  • Do not save: call project.Save() only when persistence was explicitly requested and post-change verification succeeded.
  • Static API checks are not commissioning evidence. Online state, firmware/device support, Safety acceptance, and successful drive behavior require an authorized live V21 test.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tia-simatic-drives is a skill published in the GitHub repository Czarnak/totally-integrated-claude (57 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 741 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
