Interface
Each gripper is displayed via an I/O register space which is periodi-
cally synchronized with the PROFIBUS master or the PROFINET
controler (e.g. PLC).
Interfaces are selected and configured via the web interface of the
gripper. To enable this function, the gripper must be connected
with a local company network or directly connected with a net-
work interface of a computer or laptop.
Further information can be found in the assembly and operating manual
of the gripper and in the software manual
Command Set Reference
.
PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS and PROFINET use the same I/O register. Each PROFIBUS
slave has an I/O register space that is periodically updated and read
by the PROFIBUS Master. The I/O-Space of the gripper is pre-
configured at master-side by using the device profile. Further infor-
mation on the particular I/O register,
Installing the GSD file
NOTE
The GSD file can installed in Siemens STEP7 v11.0 (TIA) and newer
The GSD file is provided as a ZIP-compressed package that contains
the following files:
• WEIS5555.gsd (device description file)
• WSG_D.bmp (visualization file)
• WSG_R.bmp (visualization file)
• WSG_S.bmp (visualization file)
• install.txt (installation notes)
Follow these steps to install the GSD file in Siemens STEP7 11.0:
1 Unzip the package and store the files above to your disk
2 In the Siemens TIA, open the project view.
3 Select “Options -> Install general station description file (GSD) ”
4 Point to the location where you stored the unzipped package
