ProfinetCommander runs as a PROFINET IO controller on a PC with an easy-to-use graphical user interface. With ProfinetCommander, users such as engineers, maintenance personnel, integrators, and developers can test and build a PROFINET network and the IO Devices connected to it quickly and without PLC programming. With the Windows graphical interface the user can view the configuration, I/O data, parameters, alarms, and diagnostic data. The output data to the IO devices can also be changed. Users gain the ability to test and setup a PROFINET IO Device or system from their PC before putting into production or in the case of device faults or alarm conditions. For developers, the added benefits of using the tool are simple testing of their product for correct operation and diagnostic function prior to PROFINET certification testing and final product release. NEW: Version 3.0: Added the capability for configuring and communicating with PROFINET IO devices with "extended diagnostics" in conjunction with the upgrades in SIMATIC NET V2008. A change was made to the PROFINET IO spec V2.0+ for PROFINET IO devices that added a physical device and subslots within the physical device. For instance, each Ethernet port would have a subslot. These subslots can have diagnostic data associated with them, hence the term "extended diagnostics". This capability is required for all new PROFINET IO devices. Older PROFINET controllers, including previous versions of ProfinetCommander, could not support this capability, so they cannot communicate with the newest IO devices. ProfinetCommander V3.0 adds support for "extended diagnostics" and therefore can communicate with all PROFINET IO devices. 14-day full-function trial version can be downloaded from here. The trial version can be converted to a full version by purchasing and entering a license "key". The manual is in the installable download or you can read it here. For an explanation of how licensing works, click here. The ordering process is explained here. Hardware and Software Requirements: The following items are required for the ProfinetCommander application to operate correctly.
A 14-day trial version of the Siemens SIMATIC NET 2008 CD, part number 6GK1700-0AA08-3AA0, is available from your local Siemens sales office. A full license is obtained by ordering Siemens SOFTNET PN IO, part number 6GK1704-1HW71-3AA0. Note: ProfinetCommander will not run without the SIMATIC NET 2008 CD installed. You need to install SIMATIC NET before you try to run ProfinetCommander, so that their 14-day trial periods coincide.
