Software update for planning and simulation tool

• Integration into the digital workflow with data exchange via AutomationML
• Configuration option of modular switches
• Import and simulation of existing TIA Portal projects V15.1
• Simulation of broadcast with definition of broadcast limits

Siemens is launching a new version of the software tool for planning and simulating Profinet automation networks on the market. Sinetplan V2.0, the Siemens network planner, supports plant planners, builders and operators of automation systems and Profinet networks already in the planning phase and facilitates the professional and proactive simulation of a plant network. At the Hannover Messe 2019, Siemens is exhibiting the new features with which Sinetplan V2.0 is integrated into the digital planning and engineering workflow.
