5.2 Installation of the hardware information in SIMATIC Manager
5.2.1 Installation of a hardware support package (HSP)
The HSP (hardware support package) file defines the system environment of an ET 200pro
station. To be able to configure an ET 200pro with the HW Config tool, the relevant HSP file
must be installed first.
● To do this, open the SIMATIC tool HW Config and go to "Install HW updates" in the
"Options" menu.
● In the upper part of the window, select the source of the file (Internet or data carrier) and
click "Execute". A new window opens. The HSP files found are displayed in a drop-down
list box. Select the "ET 200pro" HSP and click "Copy" or "Download". You can then close
this window.
● The copied HSP files will now be available in the drop-down list box of the window that
you initially opened. Select the HSP files to be installed from the list of available files in
the archive folder and click "Install". All STEP 7 applications will be closed automatically
and the selected HSP files installed.
The next time you open the HW Config tool, the ET 200pro station will be in the hardware
catalog under PROFIBUS DP.
5.2.2 Installation of a master device file (GSD)
The device description for the frequency converter is declared to HW Config in STEP 7 by
installing the GSD (master device file) for use with PROFIBUS and the GSDML for use with
PROFINET. If no HSP is installed for the frequency converter in the STEP 7 pack, or if the
frequency converter is operated with a third party master, the device description for
operation on PROFIBUS can be implemented by installing the GSD file. In this case the
masks and the designation of the frequency converters differ from the S7 standard as
described on the following page.
The following example demonstrates how the GSD can be input into HW Config of the
SIMATIC.
● Open the program "HW Config".
Close any projects which may be open there.
● Then select Options > Install GSD files in order to open the dialog box for installing GSD
files and click "Browse" to select the location of the GSD file.
● Then select the file you want from the list and click on the button "Install".
After the dialog is closed, the hardware configuration catalog is updated automatically
and you can open your project.
● Install the GSD file in the required language (English, French, German, Italian, or
Spanish) from the folder containing the relevant data.
● Selection of the telegram in the frequency converter is set using the parameter P0922
while the drive is commissioned. The receive telegram is in r2050[8] and the send
telegram is set using the P2051[8] parameter.
