Chapter 4 Configuration - GE GLM064 User Manual

Chapter 4 Configuration

Configuration is accomplished using Proficy Machine Edition (PME). Each GLM device has a corresponding
GSDML file, which must also be imported.
The GLM Switch Device is always used as a PROFINET IO-Device. Select a suitable PROFINET Controller within
the CPU and "add" a new IO- Device to the corresponding PROFINET Network. The PROFINET Controller may be
an embedded PROFINET Controller Port in the CPU, or a PROFINET Controller module located in a rack
controlled by a CPU. Refer to the corresponding CPU manual for instructions on how to set up an embedded
PROFINET Controller LAN. Refer also to the PACSystems RX3i & RSTi-EP PROFINET I/O Controller Manual,
GFK-2571, which covers further details on embedded PROFINET Controllers and on setting up a PNC001
PROFINET Controller module.
If the GLM Switch Device is to be used as an Ethernet Device, select a suitable Ethernet Controller within the
CPU and "add" a new IO- Device to the corresponding Ethernet Network. The controlling Ethernet Device may
be an embedded Ethernet Port in the CPU, or an Ethernet module located in a rack controlled by a CPU. Refer
to the corresponding CPU manual for instructions on how to set up an embedded Ethernet LAN. Refer to the
PACSystems RX3i Ethernet Network Interface Unit User's Manual, GFK-2349, for instructions on locating an
ETM001 in a suitable rack/slot location, then setting up its Ethernet LANs and adding devices to those LANs.
