Initialization Process
To be able to add an HI 6500 OR HI 6510 to a Profibus-DP network, you need a PC or a
PLC and software such as Siemens Step 7™, Simatic Manager or equivalent, that allows
the Profibus-DP PLC and the HI 6500 or HI 6510 to exchange data
Profibus-DP .GSD File
All devices connected to a Profibus-DP network require a *.gsd
file. The *.gsd file contains all the parameters including the baud rate, table formats and
necessary data required by the network PLC when an HI 6500 or HI 6510 is connected to
the network.
You must download the proper *.GSD file from the Hardy website.
Step 1. Navigate from the products section to the HI 6500 web page.
Step 2. Click on the Tab, Docs & Programs and scroll down to Documents and Programs.
Select the *.GSD option to download the file.
Regardless of Simatic Manager you use, you must go through these three steps:
Step 1. Connect the HI 6500 Series Instrument to the Profibus DP network and verify the
address. (See the Installation Section for Installation and Cabling Instructions.)
Step 2. Step 2. Connect the PC to the Trunk Line. Load the configuration properties to the
initialization software on the PC and transfer them to the PLC.
Step 3. Step 3. Install the *.gsd file.
Pre-Initialization Procedures
Step 1. Inspect the network cables and make sure that the cables have been installed
correctly and satisfy the Profibus-DP guidelines for the data transmission baud
rate(s) required. (See the Cabling Chapter/Profibus Installation in this manual for
Profibus-DP cable specifications and cabling guidelines.)
Step 2. Select the Node address for the HI 6500 or HI 6510. as shown above. This can be
done before or after Initialization.
