3.2. STEP7 PROFINET IO-Devicesetting

 

The following is an example of the configuration method of connecting PROFINET IO-Device of the Hi5 robot controller using STEP 7.

 

(1)   Run HW Config of STEP 7.

 

 

(2)   In the Option menu list, click Install GSD File.

 

 

(3)   In the Install GSD Filesdialog box, select from the directory and click the Browse button.

 

(4)   Select the PROFINET IO-Device GSDML file of Hi5 controller and click the install button. When the warning message appears, confirm and click the Yes button.

 

 

(5)   When the GSDML file of Hi5 controller has been installed, click OK, and click the Close button of Install GSD Files.

 

(6)   In PROFINET IO*Additional Field Devices*General*Robot Controller of the Catalog window under HW Config, check for the Hi5 BD525 item.

 

 

 

(7)   Drag and drop Hi5 BD525 to the PROFINET IO of HW Config.

 

 

 

(8)   In the BD525 device of the Catalog window, expand the Input Modules folder and the Output Modules folder.

 

(9)   Click the Hi5 BD525 icon of the PROFINET IO bus. Drag 120 bytes input to slot 1 and drag 120 bytes output to slot 2 to match the I/O size configured at the Hi5 controller.

 

 

Reference)

 

The default size of the input data of the Hi5 controller is 120 bytes. If you have modified configuration of the I/O size of the Hi5 controller, you have to the drag input data size, which matches the modified I/O size, to the pertaining slot.

When input data size is 1~9, 10 bytes, 20 bytes, 30 bytes, 40 bytes, 50 bytes, 60 bytes, 70 bytes, 80 bytes, 90 bytes, 100 bytes, 110 bytes, or 120 bytes, the input module will use slot 1. Otherwise, two slots (slot 1 and slot 2) will be used as follows, and the output module will use slots from slot 3.

 

l slot 1 = input data size / 10

l slot 2 = input data size % 10

 

When output data size is 1~9, 10 bytes, 20 bytes, 30 bytes, 40 bytes, 50 bytes, 60 bytes, 70 bytes, 80 bytes, 90 bytes, 100 bytes, 110 bytes, or 120 bytes, the output module will use only one slot. Otherwise, two slots will be used as follows. (n: starting number of output module slot).

 

l slot n   = output data size / 10

l slot n+1 = output data size % 10

 

For example, if the input data size is 119 bytes, and the output data size is 32 bytes, the module will be configured as follows:

 

l slot 1      = 110 Bytes input

l slot 2      =   9 Bytes input

l slot 3      =  30 Bytes output

l slot 4      =   2 Bytes output

 

(10) Double click the Hi5 BD525 icon of the PROFINET IO bus to open the Object Property box. In the Device name column, input the device name that was configured at the Hi5 controller.

 

 

(11) Check the Assign IP address via IO controller item in the Object Property box of Hi5 BD525 and click the OK button.

 

 

(12) Click Save and Compile in the Station menu.

 

(13) Click Download in the PLC menu.
