Siemens SIMATIC Automation Tool is a standalone Windows utility designed to commission, configure, and service multiple SIMATIC devices quickly, without opening TIA Portal. It can scan PROFINET networks to discover supported hardware such as S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers and ET 200 variants, then perform batch operations: assign IP addresses and device names, set date and time, start or stop CPUs, execute resets (including factory reset), update firmware, download projects created in TIA Portal, and back up or restore device data. A simple, grid-based interface and job lists make repeatable workflows easy for commissioning engineers, maintenance technicians, and OEMs, helping reduce setup time on the shop floor and in the field. The tool focuses on routine tasks and basic diagnostics; advanced engineering and detailed troubleshooting remain in TIA Portal. It communicates over Ethernet/PROFINET, and feature availability may vary by device type and firmware.
