GSD file
The characteristic communication features of the ATD430W IO device are specified in the
form of an electronic device data sheet (device master data file, GSD file). The GSD file has
been certified by the ComDeC test center for PROFINET field devices according to
EN 61158 and IEC 61784.
The GSD file is provided in various GSDML scheme versions to ensure compatibility with
older configuration tools.

PROFINET communication
Besides using the MAC address and the IP address, PROFINET also uses a device name to
identify PROFINET devices. The device name must be unique in the PROFINET network.
Assigning a device name
During commissioning, each PROFINET device is assigned a device name using the
configuration system (node initialization).
The device name is written to the IO device via an IO supervisor using the DCP (Discovery
and Configuration Protocol). The device name is stored retentively in the ATD430W.
If the device is replaced, this operation must be repeated with the replacement device. As
the name is assigned with the standardized DCP, this step can be performed with any tool
(e.g. SIMATIC Manager or TIA Portal).
Topology-based initialization
Device names can also be assigned by the IO controller based on the topology. The
prerequisite is that the topology is structured as planned and all participating devices at least
fulfil the requirements of class B (support of LLDP and SNMP). The device must also be set
to its factory default settings (IP address = 0.0.0.0 and device name = "").
