the “Automation Studio” project engineering tool. In principle, you can
integrate the device with any project planning tool and any hardware
that uses a POWERLINK network.
XDD file
A XDD file (XML Device Description) describes the properties and
functions of the device, such as timing and configurable device
parameters. The XDD file enables simple and easy integration of a
POWERLINK device into a project engineering tool. The XDD file for
