slave address.

Result: All the LEDs for the AS-i line on the IE/AS-i LINK are off or green; in
other words, all slaves have been included successfully.
3. Connect one of the two LAN interfaces of the IE/AS-i LINK to the
PROFINET IO controller (for example programmable controller) over an
Ethernet cable.
Configuring and programming with the SIMATIC Manager
1. Create a STEP 7 project on your PG/PC in the SIMATIC Manager and include
an S7 station with PROFINET IO controller.
2. Open the hardware configuration “HW Config” of this station and insert a
PROFINET IO system.
Note
If you are using a version of STEP 7 lower than V5.4 SP3, you will first need to
import the GSDML file of the IE/AS-i LINK. Installation is described in Section
3. In the catalog of HW Config, go to

6GK1 411–2ABx0
(2AB10 single or 2AB20 double
master) and select the IE/AS-i LINK with the required firmware version and drag
it to the PROFINET IO system.
If you are using STEP 7 V5.4 or V5.4 SP1, select the link from the “GSD”
folder.
Result: The IE/AS-i LINK with a full configuration is placed in the
PROFINET IO system (a AS-i placeholder module is inserted in the
link for all possible AS-i slaves). In the configuration table of the station
window, the modules are mapped to the slots of the IE/AS-i LINK.
