Add an S7 300 subrack to your project by dragging and dropping it from the "SIMATIC 300"
hardware catalog. Connect a power supply to slot 1 of the subrack and a CPU 315-2 DP to
slot 2.
When you add the SIMATIC 300, a window is displayed in which you can define the network.
Create a PROFIBUS DP network.

Configuring the frequency converter and integrating it in the PROFIBUS network
In STEP 7, the frequency converter can be connected to an S7 controller in two ways:
1.
Via the GSD of the frequency converter
The GSD is a standardized description file for a PROFIBUS slave. It is used by all
controllers that are PROFIBUS masters.
2.
Via the STEP 7 object manager
This somewhat more user-friendly method is only available for S7 controls and installed
Drive_ES_Basic.
The following section describes how to configure the frequency converter using the GSD.
