symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

TIA Selection Tool
The TIA Selection Tool tool supports you in the selection, con󹪝guration, and ordering of devices
for Totally Integrated Automation (TIA).
As successor of the SIMATIC Selection Tools , it assembles the con󹪝guration editors for
automation technology already familiar into a single tool.
With the TIA Selection Tool , you can generate a complete order list from your product
selection or product con󹪝guration.
You can 󹪝nd the TIA Selection Tool on the Internet. (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109767888)
SIMATIC Automation Tool
You can use the SIMATIC Automation Tool to perform commissioning and maintenance activities
on various SIMATIC S7 stations as bulk operations independent of TIA Portal.
The SIMATIC Automation Tool o󹪜ers a wide range of functions:
• Scanning of a PROFINET/Ethernet system network and identi󹪝cation of all connected CPUs
• Assignment of addresses (IP, subnet, Gateway) and device 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
• RUN/STOP mode switchover
• CPU localization through LED 󹪞ashing
• Reading out of CPU error information
• Reading the CPU diagnostic bu󹪜er
• Reset to factory settings
• Firmware update of the CPU and connected modules
You can 󹪝nd the SIMATIC Automation Tool on the Internet. (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/98161300)
PRONETA
SIEMENS PRONETA (PROFINET network analysis) is a commissioning and diagnostic tool for
PROFINET networks. PRONETA Basic has two core functions:
• The "Network analysis" o󹪜ers a quick overview of the PROFINET topology. It is possible to
make simple parameter changes (for example, to the names and IP addresses of the devices).
In addition, a quick and convenient comparison of the real con󹪝guration with a reference
system is also possible.
• The "IO test" is a simple and rapid test of the wiring and the module con󹪝guration of a plant,
including documentation of the test results.

SIEMENS PRONETA Professional is a licensed product that o󹪜ers you additional functions.
It o󹪜ers you simple asset management in PROFINET networks and supports operators
of automation systems in automatic data collection/acquisition of the components used
through various functions:
• The user interface (API) o󹪜ers an access point to the automation cell to automate the scan
functions using MQTT or a command line.
• With PROFIenergy diagnostics, you can quickly detect the current pause mode or the
readiness for operation of devices that support PROFIenergy and change these as needed.
• The data record wizard supports PROFINET developers in reading and writing acyclic
PROFINET data records quickly and easily without PLC and engineering.

SINETPLAN
SINETPLAN, the Siemens Network Planner, supports you in planning automation systems and
networks based on PROFINET. The tool facilitates professional and predictive dimensioning of
your PROFINET installation as early as in the planning stage. In addition, SINETPLAN supports
you during network optimization and helps you to exploit network resources optimally and to
plan reserves. This helps to prevent problems in commissioning or failures during productive
operation even in advance of a planned operation. This increases the availability of the
production plant and helps improve operational safety.
The advantages at a glance
• Network optimization thanks to port-speci󹪝c calculation of the network load
• Increased production availability thanks to online scan and veri󹪝cation of existing systems
• Transparency before commissioning through importing and simulation of existing STEP 7
projects
•E󹪟ciency through securing existing investments in the long term and the optimal use of
resources
You can 󹪝nd SINETPLAN on the Internet (https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/

Therefore, make sure that the administrator account is adequately protected to prevent
unauthorized changes. To do this, set secure passwords and use a standard user account for
regular operation. Other measures, such as the use of security policies, should be applied as
required.

Safety information 2
2.1 Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
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 constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. 󹪝rewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.

2.3 Notes on use
WARNING
Hazards at an unprotected machine or plant
According to the results of a risk analysis, hazards can occur at an unprotected machine. The
hazards may lead to personal injury.
According to the risk analysis, the risk of injury to persons can be countered with the following
measures:
• Additional protective equipment at the machine or plant. In this case, the programming,
parameter assignment and wiring of the I/O used, in particular, must be performed in
accordance with the safety criteria (SIL, PL or Cat.) ascertained by means of an appropriate
risk analysis.
• Use of the device for its intended purpose, which can be established by performing a
functional test on the plant. This allows errors in programming, parameter assignment and
wiring to be detected.
• Documentation of the test results which can be entered, if required, into the relevant safety
certi󹪝cates.
NOTICE
Ambient conditions
Ambient conditions for which the device is not suitable can lead to faults or damage the device.
Note the following:
• Only operate the device in enclosed areas. If you do not comply with this instruction, the
warranty becomes void.
• Only operate the device in accordance with the ambient conditions given in the technical
speci󹪝cations.
• Protect the device from dust, moisture and heat.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.
• The device must not be used in places with more di󹪟cult operating conditions through
corrosive vapors or gases without taking additional protective measures, for example,
supply of clean air.
