SINETPLAN

SINETPLAN (https://www.siemens.com/sinetplan), the Siemens Network Planner, helps you
plan automation systems and networks based on PROFINET. The tool facilitates the
professional and predictive dimensioning of your PROFINET system right from the planning
stage. SINETPLAN also assists with network optimization and helps you to make the best
possible use of network resources and to plan for reserves. This allows you to avoid problems
in commissioning and failures during productive operation even before planned use. 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 import and simulation of existing STEP7
projects
• Efficiency through securing existing investments in the long term and the optimal use of
resources
