7 .2 GSD file for PLC configuration
Before commissioning, the Profinet system must be configured
for data exchange using an engineering tool.
The device master data file (GSD) is required for the integra-
tion of the BCU in the configuration of the PLC. The GSD file
contains the device image and communications properties of
the BCU. Modules defined in the GSD file may be selected for
configuration to integrate the BCU, see page 38 (Modules
The GSD file for the bus module can be ordered at
www.docuthek.com. The steps required to integrate the file
are described in the instructions for the engineering tool for
your automation system.
For parameter settings on the BCU and code switch settings
on the BCM, see page 96 (Fieldbus communication).
