Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Operating Manual page 99

Requirement
● GSD data has been imported. See also chapter Importing GSD / GSDML files (Page 93).
● Objects with the attribute "PMD.PMD_ACF864_001_000" or "Y30T00001.GSDFile" are
available in the plant structure. Objects with this attribute are available, for example, on the
"Base objects" tab under the nodes "@50 > A20 > A10 > A20 > A10 > A10 > A20 > A10 >
A40 > A10 Interface modules" and "@30 > M41 > B20 PIA LCM device requirements". Only
these objects are evaluated.
Procedure
1. Select the "Plugins > Automation > PCS 7 interface > Assign GSDs" command from the
menu bar.
The plugin opens. The most recent selection of the "Start object ('Units' tab)" and "Target
object (location tree)"destination is saved and automatically set.
2. Drag&drop the base object under which the GSD structure lies into the "GSD source" field.
3. In order to find the assignable objects, click the "Find assignable devices" button in the
menu bar of the plugin.
All the field devices found under the start object are listed. The "Unit object" column shows
the objects which has one of the required attributes. If an implementation already exists for
the plant object, the row in the table is write-protected.
4. Deselect the objects in the first Objects column that you want to assign at a later point.
5. If a GSD base object structure exists, you can select the uppermost node of the base object
structure in the "GSD file" column.
6. Click the "Assign" button.
Result
The field devices are assigned to the GSD objects on the "Locations" tab in the Navigator. If the
GSD object was not already placed on the "Locations" tab, it is placed and implemented
automatically.
If the attribute GSD download path (GSDUri) exists and no GSD base object is found, two
buttons are displayed. Using these buttons, you call the "Import" plugin or open the Website for
downloading the files. So you can use direct information from PIA LCP and must not search for
it.
