Follow the steps below to configure the RF180C on PROFINET IO with the TIA Portal:
1.
Start the TIA Portal in the project view and call the menu command "Options > Install
device description files".
2.
In the dialog that opens, select the GSDML file you want to install and confirm with
"Install".
Result: The RF180C is displayed in the device configuration under "Other field devices >

You will find further information in the sections "Assigning device names to the I/O device
(Page 32)" and "Configuration parameters of the RF180C (Page 36)".
5.2
Assigning device names to the I/O device
Introduction
Each PROFINET IO device is assigned a unique device ID by the manufacturer (MAC
address). Each RF180C IO device is addressed by its device name in the configuration and
user program.
For detailed information on addressing in PROFINET IO, refer to the "SIMATIC PROFINET
system description (
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127/0/en
)".
Requirements
●
RF180C communication module
●
To assign the device name to the communications module, one of the following
connections is necessary:
–
Online PROFINET connection from the PG to the IO device
–
Ethernet connection from a PC to the IO device (using the "Primary Setup Tool (PST)"
software)
●
There must be no connection to the CPU.
