8.5.1

Parameterization of I/O Module PP72/48

A PP72/48 I/O module is parameterized with a GSD file.
● The GSD file is a part of the SINUMERIK 840Di sl software. Refer to Section "Overview
● To install a GSD file, please refer to Subsection "Network rules" (Page 234): GSD files.
Note
To make parameterization of isochronous communication with PROFIBUS DP easier, we
recommend inserting all required DP slaves into the configuration before setting the times
for isochronous communication.
8.5.2

Inserting the DP slave

To insert a PP72/48 DP slave in the configuration, open the hardware catalog via the menu
command View > Catalog.
The DP slave PP72/48 is to be found at:
● Profile: Standard
Click with the left mouse button on the DP slave PP72/48 (PP input/output module) in the
