4.3 Configuring the external controller
General
The external controller is configured using the vendor specific configuration tool
that is delivered, or bought, together with the controller.
The tool is used in order to specify all the devices in the PROFINET network. One
of the devices is the anybus device of the IRC5 controller. To create such a device,
the GSDML file describing the internal anybus device has to be imported into the
vendor specific configuration tool, see
.
GSDML files must be imported for all I/O devices used in the network.
Example
For a specific example on how to configure a Siemens PLC, see
external controller using Siemens Step7 PC tool on page 29
.
External controller configuration
This procedure describes the general steps that needs to be performed when
configuring an external controller, independent of which tool is used.
Action
Use the external master configuration tool to:
•
Specify the IP address range that the external PROFINET controller operates
within.
•
Import the GSDML files for the internal device and all other types of I/O devices
in the network.
•
Add the IRC5 controller device and set the same IP address as the PROFINET
industrial network
•
Add any other I/O devices into the network structure.
•
Set the properties of the I/O devices to reflect the I/O device's properties on
the PROFINET network.
