Configuration

To configure a PROFIBUS PA Class 1 Master (for example, a PLC), you will need a GSD file.

The GSD file

The GSD file SIEM8132.gsd is available from the SITRANS LR 460 product page on our web site. Go to https://pia.khe.siemens.com/index.asp?Nr=14655 and click Downloads. Download the DeviceInstall, and run it from your computer. This will install the GSD file into your system (as long as you are using SIMATIC software).

Note: If you are not using SIMATIC software, you can download the GSD file separately, and import it with the software you are using.

Setting the PROFIBUS address

When your instrument is shipped, the PROFIBUS address is set to 126. You can set it locally (see below) or remotely via the bus, using a parameterization tool such as SIMATIC PDM (see Address on page 46).

Values

Range: 0 to 126 (We recommend a setting in the range 1 to 125.)
