For the PROFINET interface is standardized software sided,the functionality is guaranteed by including a GSDML file into the Siemens TIA Portal.The hardware configuration of the CPU is divided into the following parts:n Installation GSDML ‘VIPA MICRO PLC’ for PROFINETn Configuration Siemens CPUn Connection ‘VIPA MICRO PLC’ as PROFINET IO deviceThe installation of the PROFINET IO devices ‘VIPA MICRO PLC’ happens in the hard-ware catalog with the following approach:1. Go to the service area of www.vipa.com.2. Load from the download area at ‘PROFINET files ’ the file Micro_PLC_Vxxx.zip.3. Extract the file into your working directory.4. Start the Siemens TIA Portal.5. Close all the projects.6. Switch to the Project view.7. Select ‘Options è Install general station description file (GSD)’.Areas of the Project viewOverviewInstallation GSDML CPUfor PROFINETVIPA System MICROConfiguration with TIA PortalTIA Portal - Hardware configuration - CPUHB400 | CPU | M13-CCF0000 | en | 16-47202
