compact 

(Order No. 106305/106306)

GSDML-V2.31-Euchner-EKS_3.x.x_109539-YYYYMMDD.xml

modular 

(Order No. 122352/122353)

GSDML-V2.31-EUCHNER-EKS_PN_modular_126145-YYYYMMDD.xml

You will find the GSD files in the download area at 

www.euchner.com

. Always use the latest GSD file.

Please proceed as follows to integrate the GSD file in TwinCAT 3:
Open the path as shown in Figure 1 and then add the unpacked GSDML and bitmap file.
