Include GSD and FCs
The address allocation and he parameterization of the CP 240 happens by
means of the Siemens SIMATIC Manager in form of a virtual PROFIBUS
system. Since the PROFIBUS interface is software standardized, the
inclusion of a GSD file enables the guaranteed functionality of running in
the SIMATIC Manager from Siemens at any time. Transfer your project via
MPI into CPU.
The following steps are required for the installation of the GSD:
• In the service area of www.vipa.com a GSD file for the System 200V
may be found. Load the zip file to your PC.
• Start your un-zip application with a double click on the file and un-zip the
files to work directory.
• Copy the GSD file VIPA_21X.GSD into your GSD directory
... \siemens\step7\s7data\gsd
• Start the hardware configurator from Siemens
• Close all projects
• Select Options > Install new GSD-file
• Set here VIPA_21X.gsd
Now the modules of the System 200V from VIPA are integrated into the
hardware catalog and may be used.
The VIPA specific blocks may be found at www.vipa.com as downloadable
library at the service area. The library is available as packed zip-file.
If you want to use VIPA specific blocks, you have to import the library into
your project.
Start your un-zip application with a double click on the file Vipa_ Bibliothek_
Vxxx.zip and copy the file vipa.zip to your work directory. It is not necessary
to extract this file, too.
To retrieve your library for the SPEED7-CPUs, start the SIMATIC manager
from Siemens. Open the dialog window for archive selection via File >
Retrieve. Navigate to your work directory.
Choose VIPA.ZIP and click at [Open].
Select a destination folder where the blocks are to be stored. [OK] starts
the extraction.
After the extraction open the library.
Open your project and copy the necessary blocks from the library into the
directory "blocks" of your project.
Now you have access to the VIPA specific blocks via your user application.
