This Guidance demonstrates how to set up cloud-based Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) management and code development using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, Software Defined Automation (SDA). With SDA, you can securely access PLC code from anywhere using any device over an operational technology (OT) network. You can deploy code updates to hundreds of PLCs in minutes, reducing factory downtime and increasing productivity. SDA PLC management helps you integrate automated deployments in your continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) process.
