Step 1: Installing The Gsd Or Gsdml File - Siemens SITRANS LT500 Application Examples

Step 1: Installing the GSD or GSDML file

First, install the GSD and GSDML files into TIA Portal. In this step, we demonstrate how to
install the GSDML file for the PROFINET communication module. The procedure is the same
for the PROFIBUS DP GSD file.
1. On the SITRANS LT500 product page, go to the "Support" tab and then select "Downloads".
Choose the PROFINET GSDML link for the PROFINET Communication module and download
the XML file and BMP picture file.
2. Open TIA Portal and select "Manage general station descriptions files" from the "Settings"
menu.
3. Browse to where you saved the GSDML file and select the folder.
