PROFINET IO – Start-up 289
Configuring the master station
After the adapter module has been initialized by the drive, you
must prepare the master station for communication with the
module. Examples of an ABB AC500 PLC and Siemens SIMATIC
S7 PLC are given below. If you are using another master system,
refer to its documentation for more information.
The examples apply to all drive types compatible with the module.
Downloading the GSD file
Configuration of the master station requires a type definition (GSD)
file. In PROFINET IO, the GSD file is written in XML-based
language called GSDML.
Download the FENA GSD file from the Document library
(www.abb.com/drives
). The file name format is GSDML-Vx.x-
ABB-FENA-yyyymmdd.xml.
The GSD file describes the vendor-specific and PROFIdrive-
specific features of the adapter module. Vendor-specific features
can be used, for example, in the ABB Drives communication
profile. The PROFIdrive profile supports a set of services
described in the PROFIdrive specification.
Configuring an ABB AC500 PLC
This example shows how to configure communication between an
ABB AC500 PLC and the adapter module using Control Builder
Plus PS501, software version 2.1.0 and later.
Before you start, make sure that you have downloaded the FENA
GSD file from the Document library.
1. Start the ABB Control Builder software.
2. On the Tools menu, select Device Repository.
