6 Configuring with STEP 7 or a GSDML File
This chapter...
This chapter explains how to configure the IE/AS-i LINK module as a
PROFINET IO device in the PROFINET I/ system and the AS-i slaves with
STEP 7.
If you use a different configuration system, you can configure the IE/AS-i LINK and
the AS-i slaves with the help of the GSDML file.
!
Warning
You can change the configuration of the IE/AS-i LINK during operation when there
is a connection to the PROFINET IO controller or write process data of the real
process.
The change in the configuration or to process data can trigger unexpected reac-
tions in the process that can lead to death, serious injury or damaged property.
Consider the consequences before you act. Take the following precautions:
S

Assign a secure password for access to Web Based Management.

Install a physical emergency stop circuit for the machines or the process.
