Configuration and operation
4.4 Configuration with STEP 7 V5.5
IE/PB LINK PN IO

Use as PROFINET IO device and as gateway
Configuring the LINK as a PROFINET IO device.
1. Create a STEP 7 project with a PROFINET IO controller, e.g., an S7-300 station.
2. Open HW Config by double-clicking on the created station.
3. Create a PROFINET IO system by inserting and networking a PROFINET IO system
using the shortcut menu (right mouse button) of the PROFINET interface of the controller.
4. From the hardware catalog (PROFINET IO > Gateway) insert the LINK as an IO device
on the PROFINET IO system.
An IP address is assigned automatically for the interface in the PROFINET IO system and
the LINK is assigned a device number. The highest free device number in the current
PROFINET IO system is selected.
When you take the LINK from the hardware catalog, you will be requested to network the
LINK on the PROFIBUS interface.
5. Network the LINK on the PROFIBUS interface.
If you have not previously created a subnet, you can do this later by selecting the
PROFIBUS interface of the LINK and inserting the DP Master system using the shortcut
menu.
Result: The LINK has been created in HW Config as a PROFINET IO device with a
connected DP Master system.

Note
Creating a new DP master system
The DP Master system at the LINK is assigned to the PROFIBUS submodule. When you
create a new DP Master system, you must therefore first select the PROFIBUS
submodule.
6. As far as necessary, set further properties of the LINK.
7. Configure the DP master system with its PROFIBUS nodes:
