GETTING STARTED
Integrating Remote I/O Stations with Com Unit LB/FB8X09* / LB/FB8X05*
1.
Introduction
This document is intended as an aid for commissioning an LB or FB remote I/O
station with Unicom com unit LB/FB8X09 (≙ ≙ ≙ ≙ LB8109 or FB8209) or type
LB/FB8X05 (≙ ≙ ≙ ≙ LB8105 or FB8205) com units that are to be connected to a
Siemens PLC via PROFIBUS DP.
Comprehensive documentation can be found in your com unit manual.
Com unit LB/FB8X06 can only be operated with the GSD file. It will not be described
further here. Commissioning instructions can be found at
fuchs.de/germany/de/classid_259.htm

Preparing for Configuration
To enable the smooth integration of the LB/FB remote I/O system, the following
preparatory work must first be completed (section 2.1-2.3).
2.1. Downloading the GSD Files

systems. Enter the com unit being used (LB8109, FB8209, LB8105, or
FB8205) into the search field on the right-hand side of the website and start
the search (see Fig. 1).

Now select the listed com unit. Selecting the "Software" button takes you to
the part of the page where the GSD files can be downloaded.
The GSD files for corresponding com units from the LB and FB systems are
identical. It is therefore irrelevant whether the GSD files are downloaded from
the LB8109 or FB8209 web page.
Unzip the file in a directory of your choice. The "Master Parameterization"
section can be accessed in the unzipped .gsd file.
