Preparations required for configuration
The following information always refers to modules that have been installed
on the same bus adjacent to the CPU.
In order to address the installed peripheral modules individually, specific
addresses in the CPU have to be assigned to them.
The allocation of addresses and the configuration of the installed modules
is a function of the Siemens STEP
7 manager where the modules appear
as a virtual Profibus system. For the Profibus interface is software
standardized, we are able to guarantee the complete functionality of the
System 82xx together with the Siemens STEP
7 manager by including a
GSD-file (german:
G
eräte
S
tamm
D
atei = GSD-file).
The project is transferred serial to the CPU via the MPI-interface.
The following requirements must be satisfied before starting the
configuration of the modules:
•
The Siemens STEP
®
7 manager must have been installed
•
The GSD-file must have been included in the Siemens hardware
configurator
•
A serial connection to the CPU must have been established (e.g. with
the "Green Cable" from Advantech)
Note!
The configuration of the CPU requires a thorough knowledge of the
Siemens STEP
7 manager and the hardware configurator!
The hardware configurator is a component of the Siemens STEP
7 project
configuration tool. A list of modules that may be configured by this tool can
be obtained from the hardware catalog.
Before they are ready for usage, the System 82xx modules have to be
included in the hardware catalog by means of the ADAM GSD-file.
•
Copy
all ADAM GSD-files
into your GSD-directory ...
\siemens\step7\s7data\gsd
•
Start the Siemens hardware configurator
•
Close all projects
•
Go to
Options
>
Install new GSD-file
•
Enter
all gsd files
Now the modules of the ADAM System 82xx have been integrated into the
hardware catalog and are available for configuration.
