13.10.3 Load GSD file (contains machine control panel)
Introduction
To expand the machine control panel, you need the device data (GSD file) with the
SINUMERIK MCP. This file contains information that a DP master system requires to link the
MCP as DP slave in its PROFIBUS configuration.
This file is a component of the STEP7 package for NCU7x0 (tool box).
Operating steps
1. Search in the HW config under "Extras > Install GSD file…" in the installation directory of
the tool box under, for example: C:\temp\tb_sl_1.1.0.0\8x0d\GSD\MCP_310_483 to find
the corresponding GSD directory.
2. Choose the corresponding language you want to install.
3. Click "Install".
4. Click "Close".
13.10.4 Adding a machine control panel and handwheel in HW Config
Introduction
The machine control panel (MCP) can be connected via PROFIBUS to the PLC. In later
configurations, this will also be possible over the network.
Steps for adding an MCP in HW Config
You have created a NCU and a NX in the HW Config and installed the GSD file for the MCP.
Add the MCP in the following steps:
1. Search under "PROFIBUS DP > Further Field Devices > NC/RC > MOTION CONTROL"
for the module "SINUMERIK MCP".
2. Click with the left mouse button to select the "SINUMERIK MCP" module and drag it to
the chain for the "PROFIBUS DP master system" in the "Station design" station window.
3. After releasing the mouse button, the machine control panel is added (see figure below).
4. Select "MCP" and enter the PROFIBUS address 6 under "Object properties" > button
"PROFIBUS..." > tab "Parameter" > input field "Address".
5. Click on "OK" twice.
Now you can assign the slots of the machine control panel, e.g., "Standard + Hand
wheel".
