PRONETA: PROFINET Commissioning & Diagnostics Tool

Why PRONETA commissioning and diagnostics tool?

PRONETA is a PC-based commissioning and diagnostics tool for PROFINET networks. Commission your network and check distributed I/Os without a PLC. Simplify complex PROFINET network commissioning and diagnostics with our PC-based solution. PRONETA automatically reads your network's topology, configures device address parameters and delivers clear test results.

We offer a free Basic version for analytical and configuration tasks, plus a licensed Professional version with advanced features.

PRONETA Basic quickly scans your PROFINET network, enabling fast automation and reliable wiring tests before CPU integration.
PRONETA Professional automates data acquisition, regularly scanning to document system configuration. Provide transparency and improve energy efficiency with PROFIenergy diagnostics.

Key benefits

Faster commissioning and diagnostics

Both PRONETA versions accelerate PROFINET setup by automatically scanning the network, detecting devices, and enabling quick verification of wiring and module configuration.

Increased network transparency

PRONETA provides clear visibility into the PROFINET topology and device parameters, allowing users to compare actual installations with reference configurations at any stage.

Simplified early-stage testing

Users can perform essential configuration, testing, and topology checks even before a CPU is integrated or other engineering tools are available—helping teams start earlier and work more efficiently.

Featured capabilities

Automatic network topology scan

PRONETA automatically scans the PROFINET network to detect all connected components and generate a complete topology overview for analysis and comparison.

I/O Module testing and monitoring

Both versions allow configuration, control, and monitoring of I/O modules, enabling fast checks of wiring, sensors, and actuators without a PLC.

Configuration without engineering tools

PRONETA enables addressing, configuration, and testing tasks directly from a PC, eliminating the need for additional engineering software during early commissioning.

Getting started with PRONETA

Select...

Use PRONETA Basic to configure, control, and monitor I/O modules. The test results are provided in an easy-to-view log. PRONETA Basic supports SIMATIC ET 200SP, ET 200SP HA, ET 200M, ET 200MP, ET 200AL, ET 200eco PN, and ET 200S distributed I/Os, IO-Systems for heating elements SIPLUS HCS, the central I/O modules in most SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs and ET 200SP-CPUs, and also IO-Link modules.

Perform all tasks even before a CPU has been integrated into the network. You don’t need any other engineering tools or special hardware!
