Description of the GSDML file
The functionality of a PROFINET IO device is always described in a GSDML file. This file
contains all data that are relevant for engineering as well as for data exchange with the
IO device.
PROFINET IO devices can be described using XML-based GSD. The description language
of the GSD file, i.e. GSDML (General Station Description Markup Language) is based on
international standards. As the name suggests, the GSD file is a language-independent
XML file (Extensible Markup Language).
Profinet encoders from Datalogic are supplied with their own GSDML file GSDML-
V2.35-Datalogic-019C-AMT58-PT-V1-XXXXXXXX .XML where XXXXXXXX is the release
date of the file in a 8-digit format encompassing information about year (4 digits),
month (2 digits) and day (2 digits). Go to www.datalogic.com to get the GSDML file.
The XML file has to be installed in the Profinet Controller.
Version structure of GSDML files
The GSDML file structure is in compliance with the ISO 15745 “Open Systems Applica -
tion Integration Framework” and is oriented on the defined profile of a field device via
the following model:
• The version of the GSDML model used defines which scope of language a GSD file
uses.
• The version date is updated, if, for example, an error is cleared or a function
extended.
