Connecting the inverter to the fieldbus
Where can I find instructions for the fieldbus connection of the inverter?
Instructions for connecting to a fieldbus can be downloaded from the Internet:
● Application examples (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/60733299)
● Operating Instructions: CU230P-2 operating instructions
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478827)

Description files for fieldbuses
The description files are electronic device data sheets which contain all the required
information of a higher-level controller. You can configure and operate the inverter on a
fieldbus with the appropriate description file.
Generic Station Description for PROFIBUS: GSD

GSD Markup Language for PROFINET: GSDML

Alternative for the download for GSD and GSDML
GSD and GSDML are saved in the inverter. If you insert a memory card in the inverter and
set p0804 = 12, then the inverter writes the GSD or the GSDML to the memory card. You
can then transfer the file to your programming device or PC using the memory card.
