4.2 Setting the encoder gateway configuration

Once the GSD file has been installed, the encoder gateway can

be found in the SIMATIC MANAGER-> HW Config under

PROFIBUS DP ->Additional Field Devices->Encoders.

Select the

appropriate device to be configured. Drag and drop the device

onto the PROFIBUS DP system as shown in the picture below. In

the example below, the HEIDENHAIN DPV2 Gateway was

chosen. If more than one device is connected and is to be

configured, then the following steps need to be performed once

for each connected device.

When dropping the encoder on the BUS a PROFIBUS address

must be assigned, naturally this address must be the same as

assigned on the hardware address switches located inside the

unit.
