Simple PN

Environment Simulation

In critical environments, users are unable to replicate situations without affecting the active control system, lack appropriate resources to train and onboard employees, and are unable to test in a consistent, predictable way. SIMPLE PN will seamlessly get you over these hurdles.

What is SIMPLE PN?

The short version: PROFINET Simulators

SIMPLE PN is a scriptable, scalable, coordinated, and flexible suite of simulators used to imitate PROFINET controllers and devices. They can be used by device manufacturers, system integrators, OEMs, and end users to create simulated environments for the development, testing, and integration of their devices and systems before, during, and after development.

OEM & System Integrators

Simulate the networks and connections on the machinery you design and build, prior to production to anticipate system loads and data flows.

Device Manufacturers

Reliably and repeatedly function and stress test new devices under development with near infinite variety and scale to ensure your devices will perform in any target market environment.

End Users

Simulate controllers and devices, digitally, to envision and mitigate risk on your next factory or line build.
