A 3.1 Importing capaNCDT 6240 into the software This section describes how to connect capaNCDT 6240 to SIMATIC S7 controllers. Start the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal. Therefore, either double-click the TIA Portal icon on your desktop or call up the framework via the Start Menu.
Page 76
The TIA Portal automatically assigns the IP address and subnet mask. You can manually adjust these data here (General > PROFINET interface > Ethernet addresses) if necessary and save them by clicking the Save project button, see top left corner in the Toolbar. capaNCDT 6240 Page 76...
Page 77
The GSDML file contains information about a PROFINET device. This file is needed for the PROFINET controller and must be integrat- ed into the corresponding configuration software. You get the GSDML file from Micro-Epsilon. Import the GSDML file. To do so, in the Extras > Manage device description files (DDF) menu, select the path for the file <GSDML-Vx-MICRO-EPSILON-DT6240PNET-202x.xml>.
