6.6 PROFIBUS PA system integration
6.6.1 Device master file (GSD file)
For PROFIBUS network configuration, the device master file (GSD file) is needed for every bus user
(PROFIBUS slave). The GSD file contains a description of the properties of a PROFIBUS device, such
as supported data transmission rate and number of input and output data.
Before configuration takes place, a decision should be made as to which GSD file should be used to
operate the measuring device in the PROFIBUS PA master system.
The measuring device supports the following GSD files:
• Promag 53/55 GSD file (manufacturer-specific GSD file, complete device functionality)
• PROFIBUS Profile GSD file
• Promag 35 GSD file (compatibility to previous model Promag 35)
Below you will find a detailed description of the GSD files supported.
Promag 53/55 GSD file (manufacturer-specific GSD file, complete device functionality)
Use this GSD file to access the complete functionality of the measuring device. In this way, device-
specific measured variables and functionalities are thus completely available in the PROFIBUS
master system. An overview of the modules available (input and output data) is contained on the
following pages:

GSD file with standard or extended format:
The GSD file with either the standard or the extended format must be used depending on the
configuration software used. When installing the GSD file, the GSD file with the extended format
(EH3
x 15xx.gsd) should always be used first.
However, if the installation or the configuration of the measuring device fails with this format, then
use the standard GSD (EH3
_ 15xx.gsd). This differentiation is the result of different implementation
of the GSD formats in the master systems. Note the specifications of the configuration software.
