automation systems
and networks based on PROFINET. The tool facilitates professional and predictive
dimensioning of your PROFINET installation as early as in the planning stage. In addition,
SINETPLAN supports you during network optimization and helps you to exploit network
resources optimally and to plan reserves. This helps to prevent problems in commissioning
or failures during productive operation even in advance of a planned operation. This
increases the availability of the production plant and helps improve operational safety.
The advantages at a glance
● Network optimization thanks to port-specific calculation of the network load
● Increased production availability thanks to online scan and verification of existing systems
● Transparency before commissioning through importing and simulation of existing STEP 7
projects
● Efficiency through securing existing investments in the long term and optimal exploitation
of resources
You can find SINETPLAN on the InterneThe module has the following technical properties:
● 16 digital outputs, electrically isolated in groups of 8
● Rated output voltage 24 V DC
● Rated output current 0.5 A per channel
● Configurable substitute values (per channel)
● Configurable diagnostics (per channel)
● Suitable for solenoid valves, DC contactors, and indicator lights
● Switching cycle counter for connected actuators, e.g. solenoid valves
● Hardware compatible with digital output module DQ 16x24VDC/0.5A ST
(6E522-1BH00-0AB0).

Compatibility
The following table shows the compatibility of the modules and the dependencies between
hardware functional status (FS) and firmware version (FW) used:
Hardware functional status Firmware version Note
FS01 V1.0.0 Upgrade to V1.1.0 not possible
FS02 V1.1.0 Upgrade and downgrade possible between
V1.1.0 and higherThe following accessories are supplied with the module and can also be ordered separately
as spare parts:
● Labeling strips
● U connector
● Universal front cover
Other components
The following component can be ordered separately:
Front connectors, including potential jumpers and cable ties
You can find additional information on accessories in the system manual /ET 200MPThe function records the number of switching cycles of the output and thus the switching
cycles of a connected actuator, such as those of solenoid valves. When the specified
number of switching cycles is reached, the "Limit value warning" maintenance interrupt is
triggered, provided it is configured and enabled. When replacing the actuator, you can reset
the switching cycle counter from the user program.
When replacing modules, you have the option of pre-initializing the switching cycle counter
from the user program.
Typical areas of application:
● Recording the number of switching cycles of the connected devices, e.g. solenoid valves
or load contactors
● Predictive maintenance
