Siemens Automation Tool

This time around, we're going to talk about Siemens Automation Tool. You'll notice some similarities to Rockwell Automation's AssetCentre. There are some really awesome things that Automation Tool offers. Both in general and also compared to AssetCentre.

• First and foremost, this is part of the Siemens package, so it's included in your normal pricing. There is also a more robust version that is available for an increased cost.

• This will only work for your supported Siemens products:

  • SIMATIC S7-1200 (Standard and Failsafe)

  • SIMATIC S7-1500 (Standard and Failsafe)

  • SIMATIC ET 200 (Standard and Failsafe)

  • SIMATIC HMI Basic/Comfort/Mobile Panels

  • SITOP power supplies

  • Identification systems RFID

  • Can use it for automatic updates and backups.
