This video shows how to import SCU5 controller as a device into PROFINET ecosystem with GSDML file.
The different versions of the GDSML files based on the ethernet module are available on our website here:

hello everyone in this video we're going to look at how we can configure our sg5 controller with the profinet industrial Internet Protocol on it with a profinet controller we don't have a profinet controller here but we're going to use a profinet Master stimulator to show how we can add our scu5 controller to a profinet controller using the HTML file I have a controller here and this is with a profinet industrial Internet Protocol the way we can check what industrial ethernet protocol we have is to go into tools and then hit the power user communication and then other shows that we have a profinet device and then we also support a couple of different vendors for these industrial ethernet protocols one is hillshare and then the other one is HMS essentially the configuration for either of them are exactly the same except that for hillshare you need the right heel share files and then for HMS you need the right HMS files support files the gdsml file now that we know what module we have we can go to our website and see how we can get that information so if you go to our website r2r.tech and then go to resources and documentation within this menu we're going to click on the support files and it shows up a variety of support files that we have today we're going to look at how to add the profinet so we're going to look at the profinet esdml file like I said we have two different modules one is hillshare and the other one is HMS the the steps are exactly the same but we just need to make sure to download The Right files so in this case it's hillshare I'm going to right click on that and then say save linkcast and then put it in a location where you can pick it up so that's I'm going to save it once this is done then in our case we're going to show how we can do it with a master simulator but in your specific application you're going to use that specific controller software maybe Tia portal or S7 whatever the programming language for S7 is for the Siemens you're going to use that to import it so we'll show how we will do it with the um Master simulator okay we're going to open Master Simulator the profinet master simulator if you have multiple network cards you might have to choose the network card that you have but in our case we don't have multiple network cards so we're just going to select that and then we can start looking for the device once you open that it's going to automatically pull up that interface search the network for the profinet device just to confirm that this is our device you see the MAC address of the device and if you go back to our controller and you can see the MAC address and it ends in 83 and that's exactly what we see on the computer as well we can give whatever name we want for this so we're going to give a name and then with the profinet the network actually sets the IP address for the controller so what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and set that so in our case we're going to set the IP address for our controller from this program so I'm going to set it as 192. 168 one I'm going to give maybe 103 as the IP address subnet is 255 255 255 0. and then the Gateway is 192 168 1.1 and then I'm going to apply that and it will update that IP address and all the network information so once we do that then we have set the IP address of the controller from the from this profinet master and we're good to go obviously right now you can see that it's not connected that's because we want to make sure that we're able to configure that in order to configure that device you do need that gsdml file and I'm going to go in and open that file from the location that I downloaded and the main thing for this when we import the GDs ddsml file is that we actually need to set a few things and one of the first things is that the actual device that is connected and that is available in dim 17 nic-52re this is what we want to look for so we're going to select that device access point as dim 17. and then we need to set the input and the output from from our controller properly so we have 32 input bytes so we're going to select 32 input bytes and the input can be put any of these slots either 5 or 8 so I'm going to select five and set that input 32 bytes to slot 5.
and then the output is actually 16 bytes and so I'm going to select 16 bytes as the output and then the output can be selected in slot 1 or Slot 4 so I'm going to select it to slot 4. and that's about it and then I can apply now once this is done I can click on the start and now it's going to bring up the device and basically we can see the i o data input is actually the output from our su5 controller and then the output that you see here is actually the input to the scu5 controller and you can see that the connection state is there it's established it says the MAC address on our device also if we have some some data coming in you can see that on both on the controller and the device if I have some my finger in front of the sensor you can see that the data is updating so that's essentially the way in which we can import the scu5 controller into the profinet ecosystem using the gdsml file the steps are exactly the same for for either the HMS or the Hillshire only that we need to get the right gdsml gsdml file for that but anyway that concludes our demo on how to import the scu5 controller with the profinet industrial ethernet protocol into a Siemens ecosystem and please subscribe to our channel for more informational videos and we'll see you soon
