Page 6: Objective
Objective The objective of this application guide is to become familiar with the configuring the SITRANS LT500 in Siemens TIA Portal V16. Configure a PROFIBUS and PROFINET LT500 and read and write process data. SITRANS LT500 with PROFIBUS and PROFINET in TIA Portal V16... -
Page 7: Hardware Setup
If you are connecting the SITRANS LT500 on a PROFIBUS DP network, ensure the termination switches are “ON” or “OFF”. If the SITRANS LT500 is at the end of the PROFIBUS DP network, you must set the termination switches to “ON” on the communication module. -
Page 8: Step 1: Installing The Gsd Or Gsdml File
GSDML file for the PROFINET communication module. The procedure is the same for the PROFIBUS DP GSD file. 1. On the SITRANS LT500 product page, go to the “Support” tab and then select “Downloads”. Choose the PROFINET GSDML link for the PROFINET Communication module and download the XML file and BMP picture file. - Page 9 4. Select the GSDML file and click “Install”. 5. Once the GSDML file has been installed, you can "close". TIA Portal will now update its hardware catalog with the new GSDML file.

Page 10: Step 2: Setting The Device Name
Step 2: Setting the device name Start TIA Portal and open the sample project, “LT500 TIA PBPN V1.00” The first step in setting up our SITRANS LT500 on a PROFINET network is to assign it a device name. In TIA Portal the is a function to scan the PROFINET network for devices. - Page 11 Step 2: Setting the device name 2. Select the device on your network which only shows a MAC address, confirm this is the SITRANS LT500 by looking at the HMI and going to the “Communications” menu to view the MAC address.
- Page 12 Step 2: Setting the device name 5. Once again, select “Update accessible nodes” to rescan the network. 6. The LT500 now has a device name. SITRANS LT500 with PROFIBUS and PROFINET in TIA Portal V16 Application examples, 04/2022, AG022322...

You can change the module configuration if you require other process variables. SITRANS LT500 with PROFIBUS and PROFINET in TIA Portal V16 Application examples, 04/2022, AG022322...
- Page 15 Drag the module in to the relevant slot and enter the I or Q address depending if the module is an input or output. 4. Double-click on the SITRANS LT500 to show the properties of the device. 5. In the properties window, enter the device name (in our example “LT500” and the IP address, in our example “192.168.1.77”) however your IP address may be different due to...
- Page 16 Step 3: Setting up the device modules and process values 7. From the network view, double-click on the SITRANS LT500 connected to the PROFIBUS DP network. 8. Just like the PROFINET module configuration, we have I and Q address assigned to the various module process values.
- Page 17 Step 3: Setting up the device modules and process values 9. Double-click on the SITRANS LT500 to open the properties. In the properties window, enter the PROFIBUS slave address for the SITRANS LT500. This is the address that you enter in to the HMI under “Communications” “Slave address”.
- Page 18 Step 3: Setting up the device modules and process values For PROFIBUS DP, click on the blue writing “Not Assigned” on the SITRANS LT500 to connect it to the DP bus. SITRANS LT500 with PROFIBUS and PROFINET in TIA Portal V16...

Page 22: Step 5: Setting Up The Watch Table
Step 5: Setting up the watch table The watch table will allow us to read and write process values to the SITRANS LT500 without having to write any PLC code. 1. Navigate to the Watch and Force table under the S7-1500 PLC and open it. - Page 23 3. Go online with the PLC to view the live data by clicking on the “Monitor all button” or from the “Online” menu “Monitor all”. From the watch table, you can now view the process values live from the SITRANS LT500. SITRANS LT500 with PROFIBUS and PROFINET in TIA Portal V16...
