5.5.3 Configuration with STEP 7

General information

The Simatic Manager software package is used for project
planning and commissioning in conjunction with PROFIBUS
masters from Siemens or compatible masters. In order to
understand this section, you should be sure of how to handle
your configuration program. If necessary, refer to the docu-
mentation for the Simatic Manager. This manual refers to soft-
ware version V 5.3.

An appropriate device master file (GSD file) for the MTR-DCI
must be installed for configuration.
With the STEP 7 Hardware Configurator you can load the files
via the menu command [Options] [Install GSD file] in the
“HW Config.” dialogue window.
