NOTICE
If the SlaveOM is used in conjunction with other PLC CPUs, a consistency error is
signaled when compiling the S7 configuration and no system data blocks are generated.
Installation
The SlaveOM is part of the PLC Toolbox. When the PLC Toolbox is installed, it is
automatically installed in SIMATIC STEP 7. The DP slave drives specified above are
available in the hardware catalog at the following location:
● HW Config: Hardware catalog:
Profile: Standard
– PROFIBUS-DP > SINAMICS SINAMICS S120
– PROFIBUS-DP > SIMODRIVE > SIMODRIVE 611 universal
– PROFIBUS-DP > SIMODRIVE > SIMODRIVE POSMO CD
– PROFIBUS-DP > SIMODRIVE > SIMODRIVE POSMO CA
– PROFIBUS-DP > SIMODRIVE > SIMODRIVE POSMO SI
– PROFIBUS-DP > SIMODRIVE > SIMODRIVE POSMO A
– PROFIBUS-DP > SINUMERIK > ADI4
Note
The PLC basic program must be installed on the computer on which SIMATIC STEP 7
is installed. For installing the PLC basic program, please observe the appropriate
notes in the file:
• < Installation path>\importantinfo.rtf
GSD file
A GSD file (device master file) contains all the properties of a DP slave in ASCII format.
Each DP slave SIMATIC STEP 7 requires a module-specific GSD file so that the DP slave
can be found in the hardware catalog.
If a DP slave is not displayed in the hardware catalog of "HW Config", you must install a
GSD file. To do that, use menu command Tools > Install new GSD file.
As soon as you have installed the GSD file the DP slave is available in the hardware catalog
at the following location:
● "HW Config" hardware catalog:
Profile: Standard
