PROnetplan Software V2 | PROFINET Network Planning Software

Product description:

Undersized switches, overloaded network segments, and bandwidth bottlenecks are easier and far less costly to address during the planning phase than after commissioning. PROnetplan V2 is manufacturer-neutral network planning software for PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet that enables engineers to model network topology, calculate bandwidth and network load, and simulate communication relationships between devices before a single cable is pulled. The drag-and-drop interface keeps the planning process accessible without requiring detailed device-specific technical knowledge, and the software's topology view provides a clear visual representation of load distribution across all planned connections and switches.
 

Compatible with PROscan® Active V2 for comparison against live commissioned network topology, and PROmanage® NT for ongoing network performance monitoring after installation.
 

Key Features
Drag-and-Drop Topology Planning: Build and edit network topology visually by placing device classes and drawing connections in the topology view, with network load calculated automatically for each connection based on configured communication parameters.
 

Bandwidth and Network Load Calculation: Calculates expected bandwidth utilization, network load, and data throughput for each connection and switch port based on device payload, update rates, application type, and cable bandwidth — identifying bottlenecks before commissioning.
 

PROFINET and TCP/IP Communication Planning: Supports both PROFINET cyclic communication with configurable update rates and TCP/IP application traffic, allowing mixed-protocol networks to be planned in a single tool.
 

Copper, Fiber Optic, and WLAN Support: Plans cable routes across all three physical media types, enabling load simulation for fiber optic backbone segments and wireless connections alongside standard copper runs.
 

Manufacturer-Neutral Device Catalog: Devices are selected by class rather than specific manufacturer model, allowing network planning without detailed manufacturer specifications. Selectable classes include switches, PROFINET controllers, I/O devices, TCP/IP devices, NMS systems, and uplink/cloud connections.
 

Communication Relationship Detail: Each connection between devices can be configured with data source and destination, communication type (uni/bidirectional), application type, cable type, average data rate, payload size, and update rate for precise load simulation.
 

Device List View: Displays all planned network components in a compact list alongside the topology view, providing a complete inventory of devices required for the planned network.
 

PDF Export with Company Branding: Exports network plans as PDF files with optional company logo and additional project information for use in customer documentation, acceptance packages, and internal engineering records.
 

Common Applications
Pre-commissioning PROFINET network design for new machine or facility installations where switch selection, port counts, and segment load need to be verified before hardware procurement.
 

Capacity planning for network expansions where adding devices to an existing topology requires validation that current switch and backbone infrastructure can support the additional load.
 

System integrators and machine builders documenting network designs for customer delivery, including bandwidth calculations and topology diagrams as part of commissioning packages.
 

Engineering teams evaluating switch selection and network architecture options across different topology configurations before finalizing a design for a complex multi-segment PROFINET installation.
