5.8 Communication Configurations
5.8.1 Configuring Slaves on the S7-1200 Master
Before using the PROFINET master, you need to configure the GSDML file of the slave
to add the corresponding slave device to the system of the master. If the file exists,
skip step 2. You can obtain the GSDML file from Inovance or its agent.
The configuration procedure is as follows:
1. Create a project and add the S7‑1200 master to the project in PORTAL. To be
specific, open PORTAL first. The interface as shown in the following figure is
displayed.
Click Create new project, enter a project name and storage path, and click Create.
