Importing GSD Files
PROFINET Device information files (typically GSD or GSDML) must be imported
for all devices you intend to connect to through the PLX82-EIP-PNC. GSD and
GSDML files are available from the PROFINET device manufacturer.
Important:
- For devices with GSDML XML Schema version 1.0, every module has one submodule assigned.
No additional submodules can be added, and the assigned submodule cannot be removed.
- For devices with GSDML XML Schema version 2.0, you can configure the submodules, and these
submodules can be added or removed from the corresponding module.
- The GSDML file differentiates between fixed in slot, used in slot, and allowed in slot modules.
Fixed in slot and Used in slot modules are automatically configured. Allowed in slot modules can
be configured.
