All properties of a DP slave are stored in a DMF file (Device Master File) in
ASCII format. STEP 7 requires one module–specific GSD file each for each DP
slave so that the DP slave can be selected from 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 hard-
ware catalog at the following location:
S ”HW Config” hardware catalog:
Profile: Standard
PROFIBUS DP > Further field units > <DP slave>
Notice
The GSD files must be installed on the computer on which SIMATIC STEP 7 is
already installed.
To install a GSD file, please refer to the appropriate notes in the file:
