consists of a header module and multiple data modules.
GSDML-File The device data required for project planning are stored in GSDML files (Generic Station
Description Markup Language). The GSDML files are available in 2 languages for
downloading over the Internet (www.balluff.com). The data modules of an IO-Link module
are represented in the project planning software by slot.
The GSDML file provides the possible data modules (inputs or outputs of various data

particular slot.
