SIMATIC Automation Tool
You can use the SIMATIC Automation Tool to perform commissioning and maintenance
activities simultaneously on various SIMATIC S7 stations and PROFINET devices as a bulk
operation independent of the TIA Portal. For example:
• Searching of the network and creation of a table showing the accessible devices in the
network.
• Flashing of device LEDs or HMI displays to locate a device
• Loading addresses (IP, subnet, gateway) to a device
• Downloading of the PROFINET name (station name) to a device
• Resetting of devices to factory settings (resetting interface parameters)
• Downloading of a firmware update to a device
You can find the SIMATIC Automation Tool on the Internet
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/98161300).
PRONETA
SIEMENS PRONETA (PROFINET network analysis) allows you to analyze the plant network
during commissioning. PRONETA features two core functions:
• The topology overview automatically scans the PROFINET and all connected components.
• PRONETA also scans: configuration of the station name, IP subnet mask and identification
and maintenance data (I&M1..3)
You can find SIEMENS PRONETA on the Internet
