PROFINET IO configuration
Introduction
The GSDML file allows you to configure RF180C in STEP 7 V5.3 + SP 2 or higher or as of
TIA Portal V11. The GSDML file must have been installed beforehand in the configuration
software.
Requirements
●
A GSDML file is required to integrate the RF180C into the hardware configuration of the
SIMATIC Manager:
GSDML-V2.2-SIEMENS-RF180C-"date in format yyyymmdd.xml"
You will find the file on the DVD "RFID Systems Software & Documentation
(
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/65102624
) in the directory
"Daten\PROFI_GSD\RF180C".
●
The RF180C must have a valid IO device name. The default device name is "RF180C".
