Procedure when using the GSD file
Procedure when using the GSD file
1.
Link the GSD file in your configuration software.
You can identify the modules which support grouping by a second entry in the hardware
catalog of your configuration software. Those modules merely differ by a "*" character in
their name.
2.
Configure the ET 200pro installation and observe requirements and rules.
3.
From the hardware catalog of your configuration software, select the module name
without "*".
This inserts the first module at the relevant slot.
4.
From the hardware catalog of your configuration software, select the module name
with "*".
This inserts the second module at the relevant slot.
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all other modules.
Note
Configuring using the GSD file
The configuration software does not verify the proper grouping of modules.
The diagnostics function outputs an error message to indicate faulty configuration of
modules which violate the byte limits if your configuration contains more than 8 channels per
byte:
Module status → 10
B
: wrong module, invalid user data
Those modules will not be addressed.
