For comfortable and easy configuration as well as object dictionary management, port provides its Unified DesignTool Platform which enables the user to develop communication solutions using port stacks rapidly. The individual functionality for each stack is realized by plug-ins for each protocol. So the user has only to learn how to work with one tool. The PROFINET DesignTool contains the Unified DesignTool Platform (multiprotocol solution) as well as the plug-in for port’s PROFINET IO stack. The PDNT is the first product of the new DesignTool family as "One" tool for all stacks. The PNDT offers easy creation of new PROFINET devices like Stack configuration,  GSD file creation and  “Keeps all in sync”. Furthermore the new PNDT allows configuration of all relevant aspects of the port PROFINET stack for Resource Management, Device Descriptions, Modules/Slots/Parameters and Driver Settings. 

All modules and slots are represented graphically and can be linked together. An intelligent extended User guidance is also integrated: “Follow the tasks instructions to complete your project”. The tool PNDT is available for Windows and Linux (32bit and 64bit) and requires Java Runtime 6 or higher.

A free trial version is available for download on the website http://www.port.de/en/produkte/profinet/tools/profinet-design-tool.html
