Figure 6-12 Assigned IO device
Note
I-device as standard IO device
You cannot assign a device that you configured in STEP 7 as an I-device to the S7-1500R/H
redundant system.
In order to operate an I-device as a standard IO device on the S7-1500R/H redundant system,
always configure the I-device via GSD file .
• SIMATIC CPU as I-device
– First, configure the SIMATIC CPU in STEP 7 as an I-device with all transfer areas.
– Export the I-device as a GSD file. The GSD export can be found in the properties of the
PROFINET interface under "Operating mode" > "I-device communication" > "Export
Generic System Description file (GSD)".
– Install the GSD file in STEP 7.
• HMI device as I-device ("Direct key" function)
– The GSD files for SIMATIC Comfort Panel and SIMATIC Mobile Panel can be found in this
application example ( https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/73502293 ).
Assign the device configured via GSD file to the S7-1500R/H redundant system.
Display of the IO device assignments in STEP 7
Regardless of whether an IO device is connected as system redundant or as standard IO
device to the redundant S7-1500R/H system, the network view always shows "Multi
assigned".
To determine which IO devices are connected system redundant and which ones are
connected as standard IO devices, follow these steps:
1.
In the network view of STEP 7, select the redundant S7-1500R/H system.
2. In the tabular view of the network view switch to "I/O communication".
