Configuration of AS-i/PROFINET Gateways
This section includes information for the configuration of the AS-i 3.0 PROFINET
Gateway in a PROFINET network.
10.1
Projecting PROFINET network
The configuration tool needs information about the bus participants for the projec-
ting of a PROFINET network. These information is provided from the manufactur-
ers of bus participants as "equipment master data" in GSDML files.
During the configuration, the GSDML file must be imported into the PROFINET
configuration tool.
The AS-i/PROFINET Gateway appears then in the hardware catalog as:
"PROFINET IO/Other field devices/Gateway/Pepperl+Fuchs AS-interface".
Information!
The device name of the AS-i 3.0 PROFINET-Gateway is: "". Any PROFINET partici-
pant will be identified over this name. That means that every PROFINET participant
has to become a precise name with the help of AS-i Control Tools.
The name of the gateways is "" per default.
This must be changed to the requested name during the projecting!
