The following sections describe the PROFINET-specific pre-
paration of commissioning with the SIEMENS PLC SIMATIC S7
and the Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 configuration and program-
ming software.
Other control systems may require other settings or a differ-
ent approach.
A device master file (GSD) in XML format (GSDML) is needed
for configuration and programming of the CPX terminal. The
GSDML includes all the required information for the configur-
ation and adjustment of the CPX terminal using configuration
and programming software, e.g. STEP 7.
The current GSDML file for CPX terminals can be found in the
Festo Support Portal:

troller system:
