IE/AS−INTERFACE LINK PN IO as of hardware version 1, as of firmware version V2.0
Release 08/2018
C79000−G8976−C216−03
3.1.2 Procedure
Working on the IE/AS-i LINK
1. Connect the AS-i slaves one-by-one to the AS-i cable and assign the required
slave address.

2. Adopt the actual configuration as the desired configuration on the IE/AS-i LINK.

Result: All the LEDs for the AS-i line on the IE/AS-i LINK are off or green; in
other words, all slaves have been included successfully.
3. Connect one of the two LAN interfaces of the IE/AS-i LINK to the
PROFINET IO controller (for example programmable controller) over an
Ethernet cable.
Configuring and programming with the SIMATIC Manager
1. Create a STEP 7 project on your PG/PC in the SIMATIC Manager and include
an S7 station with PROFINET IO controller.
2. Open the hardware configuration “HW Config” of this station and insert a
PROFINET IO system.
Note
If you are using a version of STEP 7 lower than V5.4 SP3, you will first need to
import the GSDML file of the IE/AS-i LINK. Installation is described in Section
6.3.1.
3. In the catalog of HW Config, go to PROFINET IO > Gateway >
IE/AS-i Link PN IO > 6GK1 411–2ABx0 (2AB10 single or 2AB20 double
master) and select the IE/AS-i LINK with the required firmware version and drag
it to the PROFINET IO system.
If you are using STEP 7 V5.4 or V5.4 SP1, select the link from the “GSD”
folder.
Result: The IE/AS-i LINK with a full configuration is placed in the
PROFINET IO system (a AS-i placeholder module is inserted in the
link for all possible AS-i slaves). In the configuration table of the station
window, the modules are mapped to the slots of the IE/AS-i LINK.
