SINETPLAN
SINETPLAN (
http://www.siemens.com/sinetplan
), the Siemens Network Planner, supports
you in planning automation systems and networks based on PROFINET. The tool facilitates
professional and predictive dimensioning of your PROFINET installation as early as in the
planning stage. In addition, SINETPLAN supports you during network optimization and helps
you to exploit network resources optimally and to plan reserves. Thus, you prevent problems
in commissioning or failures during productive operation even in advance of a planned
operation. This increases the availability of the production plant and helps improve
operational safety.
The advantages at a glance
●
Network optimization thanks to port-specific calculation of the network load
●
Increased production availability thanks to online scan and verification of existing systems
●
Transparency before commissioning through importing and simulation of existing STEP 7
projects
●
Efficiency through securing existing investment in the long term and optimal exploitation
of resources

PRONETA
With SIEMENS PRONETA (PROFINET network analysis), you analyze the plant network
during commissioning. PRONETA features two core functions:
●
The topology overview independently scans PROFINET and all connected components.
●
The IO check is a fast test of the wiring and the module configuration of a plant.
SIEMENS PRONETA (
