Configuring Siemens S7 Communications
Register the GSDML File
Before the communications to the EA3600 can be configured, the GSDML file must be registered with TIA Portal.
This only has to be done once.
The steps to register the GSDML file using TIA Portal:
1. In the Project view menu, select: Options > Install General Station Description File (GSD).
2. Browse to the location of, and select the EA3600 GSDML file.
3. Click Install.
Adding the EA3600 to the I/O Configuration
In order for the controller to communicate with the EA3600, it must be added to the I/O configuration in the
controller program.
To add the EA3600 to the controller's I/O configuration using TIA Portal:
1. Open the Network view tab to show the PLC and the PROFINET network.
NOTE These steps assume a PLC and a PROFINET network were configured in the project.
