PRONETA
SIEMENS PRONETA (PROFINET network analysis) is a commissioning and diagnostic tool for
PROFINET networks. PRONETA Basic has two core functions:
• The "Network analysis" offers a quick overview of the PROFINET topology. It is possible to
make simple parameter changes (for example, to the names and IP addresses of the
devices). In addition, a quick and convenient comparison of the real configuration with a
reference system is also possible.
• The "IO test" is a simple and rapid test of the wiring and the module configuration of a
plant, including documentation of the test results.
You can find SIEMENS PRONETA Basic on the Internet:
