5. Projecting

®
®
All examples in the present manual refer to SIEMENS
controls and the corresponding projecting tool Step7
, since these are common PROFINET controls. With other controls please proceed in a corresponding way.

5.1. Importing the GSDML file

First the attached GSDML file must be imported to enable implementation of the encoder in the projecting
software. The file format is xml ("Extended Markup Language"). With reference to the Profibus GSD files,
GSDML is the common term.
®
The import operation is performed by Step7
software in the hardware window (HW Config, „Options – Install
GSD File..."). As a prior step the actual hardware project must be closed („Station - close") to enable
successful import. Any alteration of basic settings are configured as described below. The GSDML file itself is
not modified.
In the following dialogue please select the directory including the GSDML file. Mark the file on screen. „Close"
will finalize the operation. The same directory also includes the corresponding Bitmap file providing a small
encoder image in the projecting tool. This file is automatically installed as well.
