This chapter will illustrate how to set up and configure an encoder<br />

gateway with <strong>PROFIBUS</strong> <strong>DP</strong>V2 in isochronous operation. In the<br />

example below a Siemens Step 7 PLC and SIMATIC MANAGER<br />

was used.<br />

4.1 Device description file installation (GSD-file)<br />

In order to start using an encoder gateway with <strong>PROFIBUS</strong><br />

interface, a device description file needs to be downloaded and<br />

imported to the configuration software.<br />

The latest available GSD file can be downloaded from<br />

www.<strong>heidenhain</strong>.com.<br />

Installation of GSD-files in SIMATIC MANAGER<br />

1. Select Options -> Install GSD File and click the Browse button<br />

to navigate to the location of the GSD file. If a bitmap picture<br />

representing the encoder is requested, make sure that the<br />

bitmap file is located in the same folder as the GSD file. A<br />

bitmap file is included in the zip-file avaliable from<br />

www.<strong>heidenhain</strong>.com.<br />

2. Select the GSD file and click the Install button to start installing<br />

the selected GSD file.
