While TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation) is the modern official engineering framework for Siemens S7-1200, S7-1500, and legacy S7-300/400 controllers, the "Can Opener" serves as a third-party utility for developers needing to access code that has been password-protected. www.runmode.com Overview of S7 Can Opener
