Manual VIPA CPU 21x Chapter 8 Deployment CPU 21xCAN
HB103E - Rev. 05/45 8-5
The hardware configurator is a part of the SIMATIC manager from
Siemens. It serves the project engineering. The modules that can be
parameterized with are monitored in the hardware catalog.
For the deployment of the System 200V modules, the inclusion of the
System 200V modules into the hardware catalog is necessary. This
happens via a GSD-file vipa_21x.gsd from VIPA.
Note!
For the project engineering a thorough knowledge of the SIMATIC
manager and the hardware configurator from Siemens is required!
• Copy the delivered VIPA GSD-file VIPA_21x.gsd into your GSD-
directory... \siemens\step7\s7data\gsd
• Start the hardware configurator from Siemens
• Close all projects
• Choose Options > Install new GSD-file
• Select VIPA_21x.GSD
Now the modules of the System 200V from VIPA are integrated in the
hardware catalog and can be projected.
To be compatible to the SIMATIC manager from Siemens, the System 200V CPUs from
VIPA have to be projected as
CPU 315-2DP (6ES7 315-2AF03-0AB0 V1.2)!
To be able to directly address the modules, you have to include them in the hardware
configurator from Siemens in form of a virtual Profibus system. By including the GSD-
file from VIPA, you are able to access the complete function range of the modules.
Engineer the CAN master in your virtual Profibus system by placing a CPU 21xCAN on
the 1
st
slot.
The concrete project engineering happens in the CANopen configuration tool
WinCoCT. You may export your project as wld-file and transfer it as DB into your PLC
program.
