6.1 PROFIBUS System Configuration
For system configuration with PROFIBUS-DP protocol, have to offer the communication information
about each slave for a master in the form of electronic device data seat (GSD file).
A manufacturer of PLC (master) has prepared configuration tool for a system configuration of
PROFIBUS. By combining all GSD files of the slaves to be connected, the configuration tool creates a
master parameter record containing all pertinent data for the bus system. The configuration of a
PROFIBUS system is enabled by downloading these data to a master.
