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 With 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.

You can find PRONETA on the Backing up and restoring
via the Web
server
You can, for example, backup and restore the
configuration of the CPU to the PG/PC on
which the Web server is running.
In an "emergency", you can simply use an existing
configuration without STEP 7, for example,
during commissioning or after a program download.
Display and Web
server provide up to
three project languages
for comments
and message texts
When you export your plants worldwide, for
example, comments or message texts can be
stored on the card in up to 3 languages. For
example, German - author's language, English
- internationally usable, Portuguese - end
user's language.
You provide customers with better service.
Trace via Web server When you enable trace functions via the Web
server, you have better service support. You
can send your trace recordings via Web service,
for example, to your service partner.
You get plant/project information for diagnostics
and maintenance requirements without STEP 7.
You can provide trace recordings for each Web
server.
Monitoring of confi You save time in troubleshooting. gured

You can monitor statuses, errors, technology
alarms and the current values of technology

Your SIMATIC memory card is directly formatted, erased or converted to a program card without
having to use STEP 7. You save time.axes for Motion Control
