WARNUNG
Explosion risk!
▶ Before starting any work, make sure that
there is not a potentially explosive atmos-
phere!
WARNUNG!
Manipulation of the control unit!
During commissioning, the system may be
manipulated to such an extent that risk to life
and material damage can result.
▶ Make sure that system components can-
not start up unintentionally!
ATTENTION
The product can be destroyed!
▶ Perform an insulation test every time before putting the
station into operation (see section 7.6 in the u-remote
IP20 manual).
▶ Always observe the complete documentation
in the u-remote IP20 manual (document
no. 1432780000) and in the u-remote web
server manual (document no.

6.1 Requirements
Before you start the commissioning work, the following re-
quirements must be fullled.
– The control unit must be in operation.
– The u-remote station must be completely assembled and
wired.
– The fieldbus coupler and UR20-4COM-IO-LINK module
must use the current firmware versions.
– The control unit and u-remote station must be connected
to each other, and a PC/laptop must also be connected.
– The power supply must be turned on.
6.2 Devicedescriptionles
▶ Download the current device description files from the
Weidmüller website.
These include:
– GSDML files for PROFINET couplers
– GSD files for PROFIBUS couplers
– ESI files for EtherCAT couplers
– EDS files for Ethernet/IP couplers
– EDS files for DeviceNet couplers
– EDS files for CANopen couplers
– XDD files for POWERLINK couplers
If bitmap les for visualising the couplers are also
supplied, store them in the same folder as the
device description les.
You require the current device description
les in order to use all the functions of the
UR20-4COM-IO-LINK communication module.
The naming convention for GSDML les always follows this
pattern: GSDML_V2.3-WI-UR20-yyyymmdd.xml. The date
in the le name (dd.mm.yyyy) indicates the version of the
GSDML le and helps to determine whether you are already
using the latest version.
The version number of a GSD le can be found from the le.
If you open the le with a GSD editor, you can nd the ver-
sion number in the “Info_Text” entry. If you open the le with
a text editor, you can nd the version number in the entry
comment.
The version number of an ESI le can be found from the le.
If you open the le with a text editor, you can nd the version
number in the “FileVersion” attribute of the “Vendor” tag.
The version number of an EDS le can be found from the le.
Open the le using a text editor.
– Ethernet/IP: “Revision” entry in the “File” section
– DeviceNet: “Revision” entry in the “File” section
– CANopen: “FileVersion” entry in the “FileInfo” section
The version number of an XDD le can be found from the
le. If you open the le with a text editor, you can nd the
version number in the “FileVersion” attribute of the “Prole-
Body” tag.
