4.6.3 PRONETA
SIEMENS PRONETA (PROFINET network analysis) allows you to analyze the plant network
during commissioning. PRONETA features two core functions:
•
The topology overview independently scans PROFINET and all connected components.
•
The IO check is a rapid test of the wiring and the module configuration of a plant.
SIEMENS PRONETA (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/67460624) is
available for free on the Internet.
