Basic tools

The tools described below support you in all steps: from planning, over commissioning, all
the way to analysis of your system.
TIA Selection Tool
The TIA Selection Tool tool supports you in the selection, configuration, and ordering of
devices for Totally Integrated Automation (TIA).
As successor of the SIMATIC Selection Tools , the TIA Selection Tool assembles the already
known configurators for automation technology into a single tool.
With the TIA Selection Tool , you can generate a complete order list from your product
selection or product configuration.
You can find the TIA Selection Tool on the Internet.

SINETPLAN
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. This helps to 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 investments in the long term and the optimal use of
resources
