12.5.3 Integration of SIMOCODE pro as a DPV1 slave via GSD in the
configuration software
SIMOCODE pro is connected as a standard slave in your system via the
GSD file.
You can download the GSD file
• From the internet at http://www.siemens.com/profibus-gsd (switchgears).
The following GSD files are available for SIMOCODE pro C:
• SI0180FD.GSG (German)
• SI0180FD.GSE (English).
• SI0180FD.GSF (French).
The following GSD files are available for SIMOCODE pro V:
• SI1280FD.GSG (German)
• SI1280FD.GSE (English).
• SI1280FD.GSF (French).
Notice
If you want to utilize the complete functionality of SIMOCODE pro (e.g.
timestamping), your configuration tool must support GSD files - Rev. 5 such
as STEP7 V5.3 and higher.
The following table describes how to integrate the GSD file in SIMATIC S7
and SIMOCODE pro from the hardware catalog.
Table 12-9: Integration of SIMOCODE pro as DPV1 slave via GSD in the configuration software
Step STEP7 , V5.1+SP2 onwards
1 Start STEP7 and in the HW Config select the menu command
"Options > Install GSD file".
2 In the following dialog, select the GSD file to be installed and confirm
with "OK" -->. The field device is displayed in the hardware catalog in the
"PROFIBUS DP" directory under "Other field devices > Switching devices
> SIMOCODE pro".
3 Enter "SIMOCODE pro C" or "SIMOCODE pro V" on the PROFIBUS.
4 Only for SIMOCODE pro V:
SIMOCODE pro V can be connected in two basic types (basic type 1 or
basic type 2). See Chapter 12.4.1 "Cyclic data". The default is basic type 2.
If you wish to use "basic type 1", delete the default "basic type 2" module
and insert "basic type 1" instead.
Only for the failsafe digital module DM-F PROFIsafe: Insert the
"PROFIsafe" module into the second position (in addition to "basic type 1"
or "basic type 2").
You can find further information on using DM-F PROFIsafe in the system
manual "Failsafe Digital Modules SIMOCODE pro SAFETY".
5 Check the set DP alarm mode (DPV0 or DPV1) as well as the release of
the DPV1 alarms in the properties of the DP slave.
These settings influence the evaluation of the diagnostics data and alarms
(see Chapter 12.6 "Evaluating diagnostics data" and Chapter 10.10
"Timestamping").
6 Only for SIMOCODE pro C:
It is possible to set the device parameters which are automatically
transmitted to SIMOCODE pro during every startup in the object
properties under "Parameterization > Device-specific parameters" (see
Chapter 12.8.3 "Parameter data during startup").
