Chapter 4 – Configuration
4 Configuration
The PROFINET Gateway connects to an integrated web server to configure the
gateway and the connected PROFIBUS devices. One of the functions of the web
server is to convert PROFIBUS GSD files into a single PROFINET GSDML file. The
configuration is typically done offline in the PROFINET engineering system
(e.g. Siemens TIA Portal) meaning that you do not need to be connected to a
controller or a gateway.
The default IP address of the integrated web server is 192.168.0.10. To access
the PROFINET Gateway from your PC, you either have to change the default IP
address of the integrated web server to an address on your network or change
the DHCP address on your PC to a static IP address that matches the network
address of your gateway (e.g. 192.168.0.1). The following Chapter describes
how you have to do one of the two options.
4.1 Prerequisites

The following chapter describes how to convert the GSD file of a PROFIBUS PA
or PROFIBUS DP field device to a GSDML using the built-in PROFIBUS
configurator and how to use this file to configure a PROFINET device in the
Siemens TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal).
Video See also the videos Conversion from PROFIBUS GSD to PROFINET GSDML and
PROFINET configuration in the TIA Portal.
4.7.1
Prerequisites
§ You must have installed the Siemens TIA Portal on your PC to optimize the
PROFINET configuration routines.
§ You must know how to create and manage projects in the TIA Portal.
4.7.2 Creating a GSDML import file

file from the GSD files used in the Segement configuration.
Note By selecting [Generic GSDML] you will generate a GSDML file from all the
devices in the device catalogue. Remember that the PROFIBUS configuration of
the segments is not stored in the GSDML which implies that the assignment of
the devices to the PROFIBUS channels and the parameters of the devices must be
done in the PROFINET engineering system (e.g. TIA portal). If you choose to
convert the GSD files to a static GSDML file using the [GSDML] function the
PROFIBUS devices and the used IO modules cannot be manually altered later in
the PROFINET engineering system (e.g. TIA portal).

5 Asset management
According to ISO 55001, asset management deals with the entire life cycle of
assets an organization requires to achieve its objectives. But what is an
asset? In the broader sense of the term, an asset is a physical or non-
physical entity, item or thing that has the potential or actual value to an
organization. Seen in the context of process automation, asset management
involves controlling and governing physical assets (device assets) to lower
costs and improve plant performance.
The following chapter describes the tools and technologies of the Asset
Management System which use PROFINET Gateway to manage (configure,
parameterize, troubleshoot and maintain) connected field devices.

Asset management with PACTware
PACTware is an FDT frame application which allows you to view field devices of
different suppliers in a graphical interface similar to a browser window. To
manage the information of these devices, PACTware uses a Device Type Manager
(DTM) within the frame application. The DTM is a software which allows you to
access a field device similar to a device driver. It contains the complete
logic (data and functions) of the field device. Using DTMs the same device
setting procedures can be used in any FDT environment.
For details on how to set PROFIBUS device parameters see the online manual
integrated in the most recent PROFIdtm application you downloaded and
installed from the product website.
Prerequisites
The default IP address of the built-in web server has been changed to an
address on your network or the IP address of your PC has been changed to an IP
