PROFINET IO controller – configuration
The following sections describe the configuration of drives with MFE PROFINET IO in-
terface. The configuration will be demonstrated using the example of the TIA-Portal
V13 configuration software and a SIMATIC CPU S7-1516F 3PN/DP.
8.2.1
Shared GSD(ML) file
There is a shared GSD(ML) file available for the configuration of the PROFINET IO
controller for the MFE PROFINET IO interface. This file is read in with the configura-
tion software of the PROFINET IO controller and is then available for the configuration
of the drives with PROFINET IO interface in the PROFINET IO controller. Refer to the
relevant configuration software manuals for details on the procedure.
8.2.2
Installing the GSDML file
WARNING
Uncontrolled enable of an unexpected drive due to installation of an invalid GSDML
file. If you install an invalid GSDML file during configuration, a drive that is not en-
abled may start up during operation.
Severe or fatal injuries.
