PROFINET configuration of the gateway - how the data are transferred

The following steps are required to configure the communication between the PLC and the gateway.
NOTICE
i
This documentation does not address the installation of the PROFINET IO network or the other
components of the automation system project in the network configuration tool. It is assumed
that the PROFINET project in the configuration program, e.g. the SIEMENS TIA Portal, has
already been set up. The examples presented are based on configurations created with the help
of the SIEMENS TIA Portal.
Step 1: Install the device master file (GDSML file)
Before the MSI 430 module can be used for the first time as part of the network configuration tool, e.g. the
SIEMENS TIA Portal, the device master file (GSDML file) of the gateway must first be installed in the hard-
ware catalog of the tool.
Ä Download the GSDML file and the equipment symbol from the product site of the MSI 430 module
(http://www.leuze.com).
Ä Follow the instructions for the installation of GSD files in the online help section or in the user manual
for the PROFINET network configuration tool.
If you are using SIEMENS TIA Portal, then the MSI 430 module appears in the following location in the
hardware catalog:
Step 2: Add the gateway to the project
To make the system of the MSI 400 system available in the process diagram of the PLC, the gateway must
first be added to the hardware configuration. The procedure to be used depends on the hardware configur-
ation software of the PLC used. Please also read the documentation for the corresponding software in this
regard.
The example below shows how the gateway is added to a SIEMENS TIA Portal project.
Ä Use Drag & Drop in the Network view to drag the device to the Ethernet PROFINET IO network.
