Description
1.3 I/O integration
SIMOTION D4x5-2
Manual, 11/2010
21
In addition to the I/O modules enabled for SIMOTION, in principle all certified standard
PROFIBUS slaves (DP-V0/DP-V1/DP-V2) and PROFINET IO devices with RT and IRT real-
time classes may be connected to SIMOTION D4x5-2. These modules are integrated using
the GSD file (PROFIBUS) or GSDML file (PROFINET) provided by the relevant device
manufacturer.
Note
Please note that in individual cases further boundary conditions must be fulfilled in order to
integrate a standard slave/standard device into SIMOTION. Thus, a few modules require
"driver blocks" , e.g. in the form of function blocks, that permit (or simplify) integration.
For modules released with SIMOTION (e.g. SIMATIC S7-300 module FM 350-1, etc.), these
driver blocks are part of the SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system command library.
