PRONETA
SIEMENS PRONETA PC-based software tool that is provided free-of-charge, which
simplifies the commissioning of PROFINET systems by performing the following tasks:
● Topology overview that automatically scans PROFINET and displays all connected
components. This overview can be exported in the form of a device list. You have the
option of "Initializing" the components and performing other simple configuration tasks, as
well as comparing the actual configuration with a required configuration.
● IO check to quickly test the wiring of a plant and the module configuration of the
components. By reading and writing the inputs and outputs, PRONETA makes sure that
the distributed I/O devices with their sensors and actuators are correctly wired.
PRONETA can create test profile templates and store test logs, to document the test
results.
● All tasks can be performed before a CPU is integrated into the network. Moreover, since
no other engineering tools or hardware are required, PRONETA enables a fast and
convenient checking of a plant's configuration at an early stage.
