3.5.4
Configuring communication to the control system
Configure the communication in the control system after you have connected the inverter to
the bus.
3.5.4.1
Configuring the communication using SIMATIC S7 control
● If the inverter is listed in the hardware library of HW-Conifg, you can configure the
communication in the SIMATIC control.
● If the inverter is not listed in the hardware library, you can either install the newest
STARTER or Startdrive version or install the GSD of the inverter via "Extras/GSD-Install
file" in HW-Config.

3.5.4.2
Configuring the communication with a third-party control system
If you are working with a third-party control system, you must install the device file (GSD) of
the inverter in the control before you configure the communication.
If you have installed the GSD, configure the communication. To do this, follow the
documentation of your control system.
3.5.4.3
Installing the GSD
Procedure
To load the GSD of the inverter in the control, proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the GSD
– either on the Internet:
– or from your inverter. To do this, insert a memory card into the inverter and set p0804
2. Unzip the GSDfile in a folder on your computer.
3. Import the GSDinto the configuration tool of your control.
You have now installed the GSD file.

= 12. In this way, you will save the GSD on the memory card as (DPGSD.ZIP)
compressed file in the directory /SIEMENS/SINAMICS/DATA/CFG .
