SIEMENS PRONETA is a PC-based software tool that is provided free-of-charge, which
simplifies the commissioning of PROFINET plants 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 reference plant.
● 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 wired correctly.
PRONETA can create test profile templates and store test logs to document the test
results.
● All tasks can be performed even before a CPU is integrated into the network. Moreover,
since no other engineering tools or hardware are required, PRONETA enables a fast and
convenient check of a plant configuration at an early stage.

SIMATIC Automation Tool is a free, PC-based software tool which supports you during
commissioning of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP and ET 200SP distributed I/O
system.
You carry out commissioning and service activities with this tool independent of the TIA
Portal.
It offers the following functions:
● Scanning the network and creating a table that maps the devices accessible in the
network. Unconfigured and configured CPUs and modules are included in the table,
which is stored in a secure SAT project file.
● LED flashing on a device to physically locate it
● Loading addresses (IP, subnet, gateway) into a device
● Loading the PROFINET name (station name) into a device name
● Setting the time in a CPU to the current time of your PG/PC (programming
device/personal computer)
● Loading a new program into a CPU
● Loading a firmware update into a CPU or a module
● Setting a CPU to RUN or STOP mode
● General reset of a CPU's memory
● Reading the diagnostics buffer of a CPU
● Loading service data out of a CPU
● Saving/restoring CPU data to/from a backup file
● Resetting devices to factory settings
