As of STEP 7 Basic / Professional V15.1, the RF18xC communication modules are
integrated into the TIA Portal; as of STEP 7 Basic / Professional V16, the RF18xCI
communication modules are integrated into the TIA Portal. Integration into older STEP 7
versions and third-party systems is performed via a GSDML file. The communication module
can then be configured via the TIA Portal or another engineering system. The GSDML file is
stored on the communication module and can be downloaded from it using a Web browser.
You can also find the GSDML file at the website of Siemens Industry Online Support.
