Manufacturer-neutral planning software for industrial networks
PROnetplan V2 allows the pre-planning of convergent industrial networks based on Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET. PROnetplan V2 focuses in particular on bandwidth planning. As a result, it can be ensured right from the network planning stage that all applications used in the network can communicate smoothly.
Parameters that are taken into account and displayed by PROnetplan V2:
Type of application (PROFINET, TCP/IP application)
Number of devices / payload
Server (communication sink)
Data throughput / backplane capacity / required number of ports of the switches used
Bandwidth / network load for each connection
Update times of the cyclic devices (e.g. with PROFINET)
Required number of ports
Available line depth
Uni- / bidirectional communication, broadcast
The advantages at a glance:
Convenient network planning via drag-and-drop
Create or edit network components and connections in seconds
Intuitive network load pre-planning without unnecessarily complicated technical specifications
User-friendly planning with freely selectable components without manufacturer restrictions
Planning of copper, fibre-optic and WLAN-based network connections
Simulate cable routes and dimensioning in advance
Creation of communication relationships between components
Visualise and plan data volume based on device-specific communication paths
