This chapter will illustrate how to set up and configure an encoder
gateway with PROFIBUS DPV2 in isochronous operation. In the
example below a Siemens Step 7 PLC and SIMATIC MANAGER
was used.
4.1 Device description file installation (GSD-file)
In order to start using an encoder gateway with PROFIBUS
interface, a device description file needs to be downloaded and
imported to the configuration software.
The latest available GSD file can be downloaded from
www.heidenhain.com .
Installation of GSD-files in SIMATIC MANAGER
1. Select Options -> Install GSD File and click the Browse button
to navigate to the location of the GSD file. If a bitmap picture
representing the encoder is requested, make sure that the
bitmap file is located in the same folder as the GSD file. A
bitmap file is included in the zip-file avaliable from
www.heidenhain.com.
2. Select the GSD file and click the Install button to start installing
the selected GSD file.
