Why SINETPLAN?

SINETPLAN is network planning software that helps you proactively plan and virtually commission PROFINET networks while optimizing your existing PROFINET installations. SINETPLAN helps prevent costly downtimes and ensures operational reliability. It identifies network issues early by calculating and simulating network loads, pinpointing critical high-load areas. SINETPLAN also protects your PROFINET network from bottlenecks and unexpected load peaks before commissioning.

PROFINET enables you to:

  • Boost production availability by leveraging tool-supported network design and simulation from the planning phase.
  • Gain transparency into network load for I/O and NRT traffic, protecting your PROFINET network from bottlenecks.
  • Integrate SINETPLAN with AutomationML to streamline project data and avoid costly rework.

Key benefits

Design and simulate networks from planning

Utilize tool-supported network design and simulation directly from the planning phase. Proactively plan and virtually commission PROFINET networks to avoid costly structural changes in your real plant.

Optimize utilization of network resources

Fully utilize network capabilities and plan for necessary reserves to support efficient operation and prevent bottlenecks during productive use.

Increase production availability and avoid downtime

Achieve higher production availability by avoiding downtimes caused by planning errors. Enable operational reliability through the effective use of traffic shapers to minimize disruptions and rework.

Cybersecurity for Industry

Security information

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
