1.1
Managing networks
Managing networks of SIMATIC devices
After a control program is created and verified with the Siemens TIA Portal software, the
SIMATIC Automation Tool can be used in the field for configuring, operating, maintaining,
and documenting automation networks.
If you are managing a network with many devices, the SIMATIC Automation Tool can
simplify operations and save time by automatically processing a group of devices with
multiple processing threads. While a PG/PC communication processing thread is waiting for
a SIMATIC device's task complete message, other threads can use this time to communicate
with other devices in the group.
Automation Tool operations
●Scan the network and create a table that maps the accessible devices on the network.
Unconfigured and configured CPUs and modules are included in the table that is stored
in a secure *.sat project file.
●Flash LEDs on a device to help physically locate the device
●Download addresses (IP, subnet, gateway) to a device
●Download PROFINET name (station name) to a device
●Set the time in a CPU to the current time in your PG/PC (Programmer/Personal
Computer)
●Download a new program to a CPU
●Download a firmware update to a CPU or module
●Put a CPU in RUN or STOP mode
●Perform a CPU Memory reset
●Read the diagnostic buffer of a CPU
●Upload service data from a CPU
●Backup/Restore CPU data to/from a backup file
●Reset devices to factory default values

1.2 Network access
SIMATIC Automation Tool V2.1 user guide
Manual, V2.1.1 07/2016, A5E33042676-AC 13
1.2
Network access
Communicating with Siemens devices
PROFINET devices connected directly to a network are discovered by using the MAC
(Media Access Control) address. A MAC address is unique to each device, cannot be
changed, and is printed on the device. Connected PROFINET devices are discovered
whether they are configured with an IP, subnet, and gateway address, or not configured
(addresses are 0.0.0.0).
However, a directly connected CPU must have a valid IP address, before communication
modules, signal modules, and decentralized I/O that are located behind the CPU become
visible in the SIMATIC Automation Tool device table.
For example, an S7-1500 CPU has a PROFINET network connection to the SIMATIC
Automation Tool and uses a local CP card to connect with another PROFINET network
where decentralized I/O are connected. You must assign a valid IP address to the S7-1500
CPU before the decentralized I/O network is visible in the SIMATIC Automation Tool device
table.
The type of network access you have depends on the command that you execute, as shown
in the following table.

Note
IP subnet mask assignment on a local network
The PG/PC running the SIMATIC Automation Tool and devices connected to the local
network must use the same subnet mask assignment.

Network options
Local and remote networks
The following examples show local and remote networks that the SIMATIC Automation Tool
can use. The diagrams are simplified to show basic connectivity and do not show the local
I/O, CPs, and distributed I/O devices (PROFINET and PROFIBUS) that are also accessible.
Different network topologies are also possible.
IP addressing and therefore valid network IP addresses are necessary to get access behind
Ethernet IP routers. You can fill the SIMATIC Automation Tool device table by automatically
scanning a network (Page 26) or by importing a list (Page 56)that identifies stations behind
a router.

.NET API (application interface) .dll file
The Microsoft .NET API used by the SIMATIC Automation Tool is documented in this user
guide. You can create your own application software that uses the API to perform the same
device operations as the SIMATIC Automation Tool.
The SIMATIC Automation Tool must be installed on any PG/PC that uses this API. The
SIMATIC Automation Tool and your application software use the API .dll file and additional
S7 communication files. The SIMATIC Automation Tool installation provides all the files that
you need.
API .dll file
The AutomationToolAPI.dll file is located in the folder where the SIMATIC Automation Tool is
installed.
Compatibility with previous versions
The SIMATIC Automation Tool API has been redesigned for V2.1. Any programs previously
written against this API must be refactored. For details of the V2.1 API, refer to the SIMATIC
Automation Tool API for .NET framework (Page 67) chapter.

the SIMATIC Automation Tool.
2. Execute the SIMATICAutomationToolSetup.exe file to begin the installation.
Installation Restrictions
Only one version of the SIMATIC Automation Tool can be installed on a PG/PC. If you have
a previously installed version (V1.0 or V2.0) this version must be uninstalled before installing
V2.1.
The setup program for SIMATIC Automation Tool V2.1 checks for a previous installation.
This check results in one of the following behaviors:
●If no version of SIMATIC Automation Tool is found, the setup proceeds normally.
●If a V2.1 installation is found, the setup presents the options to "Repair" or "Uninstall" the
previous installation. This is standard behavior for setup applications.
●If a previous version of the application (V1.0 or V2.0) is found, you are informed that the
previous version will be automatically uninstalled to proceed. You may either cancel the
setup, or proceed.
●If a newer version of the application (> V2.1) is found, you are informed of this fact and
the setup does not proceed.

devices like the S7-1500 CPU, you can similarly configure all ports to enable IP address
changes (when connected to the SIMATIC Automation Tool) or you can configure only
the port you want to change.
3. Also on the
Ethernet addresses
options, click the
Set PROFINET device name on the
device
option. This selection allows the SIMATIC Automation Tool to assign names. For
multi-port devices like the S7-1500 CPU, you can similarly configure all ports to enable
PROFINET name changes (when connected to the SIMATIC Automation Tool) or you
can configure only the port you want to change.
4. Save your project and download the new configuration changes to the CPU.

Note
Default settings of PROFINET IP parameters
When you create a new TIA portal project, the default PROFINET parameter options are set
to "Set IP address in the project"
and
"Generate PROFINET device name automatically"
.
With the default options, you cannot set IP addresses
or PROFINET device names with the
SIMATIC Automation Tool. However, you can use other CPU operations like RUN/STOP
control, program/firmware updates, time setting, and service data/diagnostic analysis.
Note
Setting IP addresses for S7-1200 CPUs with V1 firmware
S7
-1200 V1 CPUs do not support the "Set IP address on the device" option. If the IP
addresses were previously set by a TIA portal program, then you must perform a factory
reset operation to delete the old IP addresses before the SIMATIC Automati
on Tool can
assign new IP addresses.
