A DeepSeek Harness distribution built for industrial automation
Feel free to customize it with your own plugins.

It bundles a set of core plugins that extend the agent with industrial-automation capabilities — TIA Portal access, an engineering knowledge graph, Git and PLCSIM.

TIA Portal block with its cross-reference list

Project comprehension

Blocks exported, cross-references rebuilt, program sections translated, drawings indexed — so the agent knows how the project fits together, and answers questions based on necessary context.

Git client listing the changed files and the diff

Version control

Block fingerprints show which blocks actually changed. The agent reads that against the change context and makes the commit for you, keeping the version history continuous instead of a pile of binary files.

Simulation

PLCSIM Advanced is wired in through its API 4.0 — power on and off, download, tag read and write, snapshot and restore — so the agent can exercise the program and judge how it really behaves, not only what the source says.

The wider engineering context

A PLC project is more than its program. Once the drawings, change history, documents and hardware around it are in reach, the agent works from the project's real background — and can answer how things came to be, not only what the code says today.

What ships today

Six families, one profile. Statuses follow the repository roadmap — nothing planned is presented as shipped.

See the components

TIA Portal V17 access

Blocks, tags and project data through TIA Openness — 46 tools, one whitelisted operation per tool, dry-run where it matters and read-back after every write.

Partial

Engineering knowledge graph

Exported sources become a queryable graph — blocks, calls, tags and I/O per device — so “who calls this block” is a query, not a grep.

Prototype

Guard-railed Git

Twelve Git tools with the destructive ones behind an explicit policy: the agent can diff, commit and trace, but cannot quietly rewrite history.

Partial

Simulation

PLCSIM Advanced over its API 4.0: power on and off, RUN / STOP / reset, tag read and write, snapshot and restore.

Prototype

Panels in the app

PLC blocks, Versions, Changes, Hardware and Drawings docked next to the chat — the same state the model reads, on screen where you can check it.

Partial

What comes next

TIA Portal V18, hardware configuration, online & download, block comparison, cable & terminal drawings — planned, not promised.

FAQ

Is this an official DeepSeek or Siemens product?

No. It is an unofficial DeepSeek Harness distribution plus our own TIA and engineering plugins. DeepSeek, Siemens and TIA Portal are named for reference only; the MIT license covers this repository, and TIA Portal / PLCSIM licensing stays with you.

What do I need to run it?

Windows 10/11 x64 and DeepSeek Harness — the desktop setup fetches DSH if it is missing. The TIA tools need TIA Portal V17 with Openness, simulation needs PLCSIM Advanced with API 4.0, and the knowledge graph needs .NET 8.

Does it write into my project on its own?

No. Reads are explicit calls; writes are tool calls with dry-run where it matters, run inside a TIA transaction and read back before they are reported as done. If verification fails, the transaction rolls back and the project is left as it was.

How are changes versioned?

The project source is exported to text and committed to Git. The Versions panel reads the last commits, lists per-block changes and their kind — interface, code, comments, properties — so a change is reviewable instead of a binary blob.

Does it need the cloud?

It runs locally: shell, plugins and the TIA controller are all on your machine. The only outbound traffic is the model API you configure, plus GitHub and download.deepseek.com while installing.

What is not there yet?

V18 support, hardware configuration, online & download, block comparison and cable/terminal drawings. The Roadmap page gives the honest status of each.

Install it and open a project

One setup, a private DSH home, no build step. The TIA tools are ready once Portal V17 is installed.
