Configuring using the GSD file (PROFIBUS DP)

Introduction
The GSD file allows you to configure the M200D PROFIBUS using a (previous) STEP 7
version, COM PROFIBUS, or other software. The GSD file must be installed accordingly in
the configuration software.
Requirements
A GSD file, available for download from the Internet at:
(www.siemens.com/profibus-gsd)
→ PROFIBUS communication module: GSD file SIEM8166.GSG
Configuring the M200D on PROFIBUS DP with STEP 7
1. Start STEP 7 and select "Options" > "Install New GSD Files" in HW Config.
2. Select the GSD file to install from the next dialog and confirm with "OK". Result: The
M200D PROFIBUS appears in the hardware catalog of the PROFIBUS DP folder.
3. The subsequent procedure is identical to that described in Chapter Configuring with
STEP 7 (Page 120).
Configuring M200D on PROFIBUS DP using COM PROFIBUS or another configuration tool.
1. Copy the GSD file from M200D PROFIBUS to the COM PROFIBUS
folder:...COMPB5\GSD (default). Copy the bitmap file to the folder ...COMPB5\BITMAPS.
2. Start COM PROFIBUS, then select "File" > "Read GSD File". Result: The M200D
PROFIBUS appears in the slave configuration of the hardware catalog.
3. Run COM PROFIBUS or the configuration software.
4. Integrate the GSD file into COM PROFIBUS or into the configuration software (see
requirements).
5. Configure the M200D PROFIBUS with COM PROFIBUS or your configuring software.
6. Parameterize the M200D PROFIBUS with COM PROFIBUS or your configuring software.
7. Save the configuration, or download it to the DP master.
Note
For installation instructions when using other configuration software, refer to the
