Integrating the Interface Module into the Network
You will need a GSD file to operate the module described in this manual. The GSD file must be

GSD file can be downloaded from our website: www.pepperl-fuchs.com. Simply enter the
product name or item number in the product/keyword field and click "Search."
Select your product from the list of search results. Click the information you require in the prod-

Warning!
Risk of injury due to incorrect configuration
An error during the configuration of the device can override the fail-safe function, endangering
people and machinery.
•
Ensure that the device is programmed exclusively by qualified personnel.
•
Put devices into operation only once they have been configured correctly.
Note
Various project planning tools are available to allow you to configure the interface module. As
an example, this manual describes the configuration of a Siemens controller with the WCS-
PG410 interface module using the TIA Portal V14. If you are using a programmable logic
controller (PLC) from a different manufacturer, the process will be similar to the one described
here.
