5.3 Shared device
Operator view
You must install the PROFINET GSD file created from the I-device configuration in all
engineering systems that are involved in configuring a PROFINET IO system with this
shared I-device. If all uses of this I-device will be configured with STEP 7 V13, it is sufficient
to install the GSD file in STEP 7.
You configure the I-device as a GSD variant on the PROFINET IO system in the projects
involved. In STEP 7 V13, this I-device can be found under "Other field devices > PROFINET
IO > PLCs & CPs" following installation.
