Choosing the Configuration Method
Configuring with STEP 7 or the GSDML File
Configuration with STEP 7 or the GSDML file depends on the configuration tool
you are using.
S
You are using STEP 7 as of V5.4 SP3:
"
Configuration with STEP 7 (see Section 6.2)
Select the IE/AS-i LINK from the following folder of the catalog in
HW Config:
PROFINET IO / Gateway / IE/AS-i Link PN IO / 6GK1 411-2ABx0 /
V1.0/V2.0
S
You are using STEP 7 V5.4 / V5.4 SP1 or a third-party configuration tool:
"
Configuration with the GSDML file (see Section 6.3)
Select the IE/AS-i LINK from the following folder of the catalog in
HW Config:
PROFINET IO / Gateway / IE/AS-i Link PN IO / GSD / .... / V1.0/V2.0
Functions that depend on the PROFINET IO controller
The configuration of the Ethernet ports and the topology supported by firmware
version 2.0 of the IE/AS-i LINK can only be used if the link is connected to a
PROFINET IO controller with enhanced diagnostics capability (for example with an
S7-400 CPU with firmware version V5.0 or higher).
When configuring the IE/AS-i LINK with firmware version 2.0 and controllers
without enhanced diagnostics capability, select the IE/AS-i LINK from one of the
following folders in the HW Config catalog:
PROFINET IO / Gateway / IE/AS-i Link PN IO / 6GK1 411-2ABx0 / V1.0
PROFINET IO / Gateway / IE/AS-i Link PN IO / GSD / .... / Migration / V2.0
Configuration Sequence
The configuration of the IE/AS-i LINK and the AS-i slaves is described in the
following steps:
1. Importing the GSDML file in “HW Config” (STEP 7)
−
2. Configuring the IE/AS-i LINK
3. Configuring and assigning parameters to the AS-i slaves
