6.2 Configuration via PROFINET IO

6.2 Configuration via PROFINET IO
As of STEP 7 Basic / Professional V15.1, the RF18xC communication modules are
integrated in the TIA Portal; as of STEP 7 Basic / Professional V16, the RF18xCI
communication modules are integrated in the TIA Portal and can be integrated into SIMATIC
automation systems. The connection is made via PROFINET, the basic configuration as well
as operation of the communications module is made via the Ident library of the TIA Portal.
You can further configure the communications module using WBM.
The GSDML file corresponding to the communications module is stored on the
communications module and can be downloaded from it.
Requirements
STEP 7 Basic / Professional is installed and started, and a project is open. The
communications module is connected to the controller or PC via Industrial Ethernet or
PROFINET and has been powered up.
The communications module has a valid IO device name.
Procedure
Follow these steps to configure the communications module via PROFINET IO using the TIA
Portal:
1. Change to the Project view.
2. Using the project tree, insert a SIMATIC controller in the project with the "Add new
device" menu command.
The device view opens and the controller is displayed.
3. Go to the network view and drag the communications module from the hardware catalog
into the project.
4. Connect the communications module with the controller.
5. Configure the communications module (e.g. device name, address range).
6. Assign parameters to the communications module (e.g. module parameters).
7. Save the configuration, or download it to the PROFINET IO controller.
You can find additional information in the section "Assign the IP address / device name
(Page 47)".
Parameter assignment with the device configuration
You can set the basic parameters of the communications module, as well as the parameters
of the readers connected to the communications module, using the properties window of the
communications module. You can set all module-specific parameters using the following
parameter groups.
