SIMATIC Automation Tool
You can use the SIMATIC Automation Tool to run commissioning and maintenance activities
simultaneously on various SIMATIC S7 stations as a bulk operation independently of the TIA
Portal.
The SIMATIC Automation Tool provides a multitude of functions:
● Scanning of a PROFINET/Ethernet network and identification of all connected CPUs
● Address assignment (IP, subnet, gateway) and station name (PROFINET device) to a
CPU
● Transfer of the date and the programming device/PC time converted to UTC time to the
module
● Program download to CPU
● Operating mode switchover RUN/STOP
● Localization of the CPU by means of LED flashing
● Reading out CPU error information
● Reading the CPU diagnostic buffer
● Reset to factory settings
● Updating the firmware of the CPU and connected modules
You can find the SIMATIC Automation Tool on the Internet

PRONETA
With SIEMENS PRONETA (PROFINET network analysis), you analyze the PROFINET
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 system.
