PRONETA: PRONETA configuration and diagnostics tool simplifies commissioning and configuration in PROFINET networks. SIPLUS HCS can be parameterized, controlled and tested easily with the aid of PRONETA. It enables a wiring test during installation –with clearly arranged documentation of test results.

PROFIBUS components : With more than 50 million nodes installed worldwide, PROFIBUS is the world's leading field bus for integrated communication from cell to the plant-floor level. PROFIBUS is used in production automation, the process industry, and in explosion-hazardous areas. SIMATIC offers a broad range of PROFIBUS network components. PROFIBUS standard interfaces allow you to connect peripherals to your systems quickly and easily. SIMATIC offers network components for both electrical and optical transmission technology via PROFIBUS. ASICs and development kits also support the development of third-party PROFIBUS devices.

PROFINET Components : PROFINET technology from Siemens is perfectly suited for use in any type of field device. The Industrial Ethernet ASICs of the ERTEC family (Enhanced Real-Time Ethernet Controller) are available for high-performance applications. Their integrated IRT switch and ARM CPU provide full PROFINET performance. The available development kits make for quick and easy development of PROFINET field devices. However, PROFINET can also be integrated on standard Ethernet controllers. This is made possible by a development kit specifically developed for this purpose. If you want to integrate fail-safe communication in addition to pure PROFINET communication, you can implement it with the Starter Kit for PROFIsafe.

Multi-Processor control system SIMATIC TDC : SIMATIC TDC solves even complex drive, control and technology tasks with maximum quantity frameworks and shortest cycle times on one single platform. The system is used particularly for large plants in the process, energy and drive technology: Metal production and metal processing: Wire-drawing plants, stretcher levellers, bending and straightening machines, presses, circular arc type plants, rolling mills, upsetting devices, shearing and winding machines High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems (HVDC) Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), e.g. Reactive Power Compensation solutions.
