The GSDML file defines the parameters and configurable settings for the Media Converter. It is used by the 
PLC configuration software (e.g. Siemens Step 7) to configure and integrate the converter within the entire 
facility.  

Before accessing the extended diagnostic settings, you will need to import the GSDML file and integrate it 
into your topology. The exact procedure varies depending on the type of PLC configuration software in use.

Setup with Weidmüller FreeCon CFG 

The software utility “FreeCon CFG” can also be used to configure the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-
Media Converter. This software 

– which can be downloaded free from the Weidmüller website – scans the 

Ethernet and displays any FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter that it finds. The program can 
access the settings of any device on the network using UDP on port 3250. 

Carry out the following steps to run this utility: 

1 

Connect the PushPull power connector to the power port of the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media 
Converter.  

2 

Connect the PushPull data connector to the data port of the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media 
Converter. 

3 

Start the “FreeCon CFG.exe” on your PC (PC must be connected to the same network) 

4 

Click on the Scan button to scan for Weidmüller devices.

The converter will show up as “FCA-PIM-POF” in the list of detected devices. Double click on the IP 
address to change it (may vary from IP address shown in illustration).  

6 

Click on the Set button to apply the new settings. The 

new IP address is also stored in “\ethcfg.cfg”.
