8.2.2
Installing the GSD file
The functions and properties of the STOBER drive controllers are described in the form of various objects and collected in a
general station description file
. In order to map and configure the drive controllers in the network, integrate the STOBER-
specific GSD file into the hardware catalog of your TIA project.
ü
You have downloaded the GSD file from the STOBER download area and saved it locally.
1.
Start TIA Portal, create a project and save it. Open the TIA project view.
2.
Select
Options
>
Manage general station description files (GSD)
.
ð
The
Manage general station description files
window opens.
3.
Navigate to the directory that contains the STOBER-specific GSD file and click on
OK
.
ð
The GSD file is imported.
4.
Mark the file and click on
Install
.
ð
The GSD file is installed; the drive controller is integrated into the hardware catalog as a new IO device.
8.2.3
Mapping the PROFINET IO system
Map the IO controller of your PROFINET IO system and all drive controllers, i.e. IO devices in a TIA project, by selecting the
corresponding hardware modules and incorporating them into the project.
Information
Be aware that you can only connect the IO controller and IO device logically in the TIA network view.
Incorporating the IO controller
ü
You have created a new project in TIA and installed the STOBER-specific GSD. You are in the TIA network view; the
hardware catalog is open.
1.
Hardware catalog:
Select
Controller
> SIMATIC S7-1500 >
CPU
and open the folder of the CPU type that your controller belongs to (e.g.
CPU 1513-1 PN
).
2.
Drag and drop the desired CPU into the network view.
ð
The IO controller is incorporated into your project.
Incorporating IO devices
1.
Hardware catalog:
Select
Other field devices
>
PROFINET IO
>
Drives
>
STOBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG
>
STOBER
ANTRIEBSTECHNIK
>
STOBER 6th generation drives
>
PN6A
.
2.
Drag and drop the corresponding module into the network view.
ð
The IO device is incorporated into your project.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all IO devices that are in your physical PROFINET IO system.
Connecting IO controller and IO devices "logically"
1.
Connect the projected devices logically with one another by clicking on the port of the IO controller and dragging a
connection to the port of the first IO device while holding the mouse button.
2.
Network the ports of all IO devices as described in step 1.
ð
Your PROFINET IO system is mapped in your TIA project.
