Device Configuration Tool

To use PROFIBUS PA, you will need a PC configuration tool: we recommend SIMATIC
PDM. Please consult the operating instructions or online help for details on using
SIMATIC PDM. (You can find more information at www.fielddevices.com: go to Products
and Solutions > Products and Systems > Communications and Software Process Device
Manager.)

SIMATIC PDM is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS LR200
and other process devices. For more detail see

Network Configuration

To configure a PROFIBUS PA Class 1 Master (for example, a PLC), you will need a GSD
file.

The GSD file

The GSD file SIEM810F.gsd is available from the SITRANS LR200 product page on our
web site. Go to www.siemens.com/LR200 and click on Downloads. Download the
DeviceInstall, and run it from your computer. This will install the GSD file into your system
(as long as you are using SIMATIC software).
