Step 2 – Installation of the GSD file
For the subsequent configuration of the IO devices, e.g., BCL 548
i
, the corresponding GSD
file must be loaded first.
General information on the GSD file
The term GSD stands for the textual description of a PROFINET-IO device model.
For the description of the more complex PROFINET-IO device model, the XML-based
GSDML (Generic Station Description Markup Language) was introduced.
In the following, the terms "GSD" or "GSD file" always refer to the GSDML-based format.
The GSDML file can support an arbitrary number of languages in one file. Every GSDML file
contains a version of the BCL 548
i
device model. This is also reflected in the file name.
File name structure
The file name of the GSD file is constructed according to the following rule:
GSDML-[GSDML schema version]-Leuze-BCL548i-[date].xml
Explanation:
• GSDML schema version:
version identifier of the GSDML schema version used, e.g., V2.2
• Date:
Release date of the GSD file in the format yyyymmdd.
This date doubles as the version identifier of the file.
Example:
GSDML-V2.2-Leuze-BCL548i-20090503.xml
