Configuration Instructions for the LB/FB Remote I/O System
Introduction
1 Introduction
These instructions will help you commission and configure an LB/FB remote I/O system using
the SIMATIC Manager STEP 7.
1.1 Purpose of the Instructions
These instructions describe the key functions in STEP 7 that help you commission an LB/FB
remote I/O system. Customer-specific adaptations are not described. Note that software
changes cannot always be taken into account, meaning that deviations in the description may
occur.
Note
For more information about STEP 7, refer to the corresponding online Help or documentation.
Commissioning involves the integration of the LB/FB remote I/O system in a PROFINET network. STEP 7 is used for configuration, then parameterization of the LB/FB remote I/O system
takes place.
The hardware configuration is an offline process that is completed without a connection to the
control panel (PLC). In STEP 7, a project is created and the LB/FB remote I/O system is configured. The selection of the gateway and the I/O modules from the hardware catalog enables the
exact structure of the LB/FB remote I/O system to be replicated in the software project. In the
configuration table, each I/O module is automatically assigned an address. When the automation system starts up, the target configuration created with STEP 7 is compared with the actual
configuration. Any errors can thus be detected and reported immediately.
After configuration, the LB/FB remote I/O system is parameterized. Parameterization involves
setting the device characteristics such as the addresses and stipulating the communication
characteristics. The I/Q addresses are used, for example, to define where each binary or analog signal can be read in or out.
When device configuration is complete, the configuration data is compiled in a format that the
control panel can understand and loaded into the control panel. You can use variable tables to
save different test environments. You can then reproduce tests and process monitoring multiple
times during commissioning or for service purposes.
1.2 Technical Basics
The plant operator is responsible for planning, commissioning, and operation.
Only trained and qualified personnel may commission and operate the product. The trained
and qualified personnel must have read and understood the instructions and the other documentation.

Several views are available in STEP 7 for your automation project. The views relevant for commissioning are:
• Project view
• Configuration View
For further information on the views, refer to the Siemens AG user documentation.
2.1 Project view
The project view is divided into two parts. The left-hand side of the window (1) displays the project tree. The right-hand side of the window (2) displays the contents of the object selected in
the project tree in the selected view (large icons, small icons, list, or details). At the top of the
project tree is your project.

Commissioning the LB/FB Remote I/O System
3 Commissioning the LB/FB Remote I/O System
Commissioning involves the integration of an LB/FB remote I/O system into a PROFINET network and its configuration. Commissioning also involves compiling the project configuration
and transferring it to the control panel.
The following hardware components of the LB/FB remote I/O system are relevant to commissioning with STEP 7:
• Gateway
• I/O modules
The hardware components must be replicated in the project to configure the LB/FB remote I/O
system.
The gateway is the component that communicates with the control panel. The properties must
be defined to be able to configure the gateway. These properties include the device name and
the IP address.
During parameterization of the channels, the measurement behavior of the I/O modules that
process input signals is defined. At the same time, the behavior of the I/O modules that emit
output signals is defined. In STEP 7, the channels are the submodules. They are available in
the hardware catalog under the I/O modules.
To commission the LB/FB remote I/O system, perform the following steps:
• Preparation for commissioning
• Create the project
• Set up the control system
• Install the GSDML file
• Configure/parameterize the LB/FB remote I/O system
• Compile a project configuration
• Transfer a project configuration
• Check the connection
A description of how to perform the individual steps is provided on the following pages.
Note
The illustrations and information contained in this description relate to the following variants:
• Siemens SIMATIC S7 control panel (PLC/CPU)
• Siemens STEP 7 configuration software
• GSDML file for the LB/FB remote I/O system
Information about other variants can be found in the technical documentation of the control
panel and the associated software.

Configuration Instructions for the LB/FB Remote I/O System
Commissioning the LB/FB Remote I/O System
3.1 Preparation for Commissioning
It is necessary to plan the commissioning of an LB/FB remote I/O system beforehand. Planning
ensures that all files and information are available to enable efficient commissioning.
You will need the following files and information for commissioning:
GSDML file
A device description file (GSDML file) is required to use the LB/FB remote I/O system. The current GSDML file can be downloaded from our website: www.pepperl-fuchs.com. Enter the
product name or item number in the Product/Keyword search box and click on Search.
Select your product from the list of search results and click on the Software tab in the product
information list. A list of all available downloads is displayed.
The installation of the GSDML file is explained in chapter 3.4.
IP Address
When assigning the IP address, observe fundamental addressing rules, e.g., regarding the use
of private or public address areas. Check that the IP address can be used in your automation
network (no duplicate address assignment, etc.).
When assigning an address for the gateway or the LB/FB remote I/O system, the following IP
address variants are available:
• Dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP (DHCP default setting set to "on")
• Static, customer-specific, or customer-configurable IP address
IP address assignment is described in chapter 3.5.2.
Gateway name
Each PROFINET device is identified via its "Device Name." The gateway must have a unique
name before it can be addressed by the control panel.
The following rules must be observed when using the PROFINET specification for the PROFINET device name.
• The device name must not exceed 240 characters. Permitted characters:
• Letter "a" to "z,"
• Digits "0" to "9,"
• Hyphen or period
• A name component within the device name—i.e., a data string between two peri-
ods—must not exceed 63 characters.
• The device name must not begin or end with a hyphen.
• The device name must not begin with the character string "port-xyz" (x, y, z = 0 to 9).
• The device name must not have the form n.n.n.n (n = 0 to 9).
Gateway name assignment is described in chapter 3.5.2.

3.3 Adding the Control Panel to the Project
A control panel is an electronic assembly used in automation technology for open-loop and
closed-loop control tasks. The control panel reads process input data and controls the outputs
accordingly.
The control panel communicates with the gateway and is required for commissioning.
Integrating the control panel
The following steps require the station window to be open. To set up the control system, proceed as follows:
1.
Select Insert (1) > Station (2) > 1 SIMATIC 300 Station (3).
Note
This configuration example uses the SIMATIC 300 station. This may vary
depending on your automation project. Please select the control panel that you
are using at this point.
