6.3 Configuration with the GSDML File
Follow the procedure described below if you are using a third-party
configuration system or STEP 7 V5.4 / V5.4 SP1.
The following description relates to the STEP 7 V5.4 / V5.4 SP1 user
interface. Configuration of the Ethernet ports of the IE/AS-i LINK, the
topology, the packing of the address area, the configuration of Siemens
slaves and uploading the AS-i configuration to the PG are not supported in
these STEP 7 versions.
6.3.1 Installing the GSDML File
Importing the GSD file
1. Open your PROFINET IO project in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Open “HW Config“.
3. Select the menu command Options > Install GSD File.
4. In the “Install GSD Files” dialog, click the “Browse” button to select the path and
GSDML file you want to install.
5. Select the file in the list and confirm with the “Install” button.
6. Complete installation with the “Close” button.
6.3.2 Configuring the IE/AS-i LINK
Placing the link in the PROFINET IO system
Select the IE/AS-i LINK in the hardware catalog of HW Config with PROFINET IO
> Gateway > IE/AS-i Link PN IO and place it in the IO system. At the bottom of
the station window, you will see the configuration table with the slots of the
IE/AS-i LINK as an IO device. The IE/AS-i LINK is available as double or single
master.
Select the link from the relevant subfolder according to the configurations listed in
Section 6.1.2.
With a single master, the station window of HW Config displays the row of slot 0
for the AS-i line. With a double master, the rows of slot 0 for AS-i line 1 and slot
100 for AS-i line 2 are occupied. The modules of slot 0 or 100 are the so-called
AS-i line proxies. Properties for the specific AS-i line can be set with these
modules.
