Integration of the ATV312 in a PROFIBUS DP network
controlled by a Simatic S7©
The example below shows an Altivar 312 controlled by a Simatic S7-315 DP CPU.
GSD installation
You must import to your Simatic Step7 tool the GSD file of the Altivar 312. This import must be done before starting the configuration of the
PROFIBUS DP network.
Configuration of the device
Once you have defined the Hardware configuration of the master and the network properties, you can start to add slave devices.
To add an Altivar 312, go to the PROFIBUS DP device library:
Drag and drop the module to the
