6.4.3 PROFIBUS Configuration Example with SIMATIC S7
Installing a G120 GSD file
The inverter can be integrated into a higher level control device, e.g. SIMATIC S7 via the
GSD file. It can be downloaded from the internet via:
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/23450835
The GSD file must be installed in HW Config of SIMATIC S7 as shown in the example below.
Figure 6-8 Installing the G120 GSD in HW config SIMATIC S7
Install the *.GS* file in the desired language (english, french, german, italian or spanish) from
the folder where you have stored the data.
Adding a SINAMICS G120 inverter to HW Config
To add the SINAMICS G120 inverter as a PROFIBUS slave, perform the following steps:
1. Select the PROFIBUS in HW config.
2. Open " PROFIBUS DP > Additional Field Devices > Drives > SINAMICS" in the hardware
catalog.
3. Double click onto e.g. "SINAMICS G120 CU240S DP F v3.00". This inserts a fail-safe
G120 inverter as PROFIBUS slave and opens the properties dialog. Assign a PROFIBUS
address and a unique device name or accept the ones, the system offers. Confirm your
settings with OK.
