4.2 GSD Files
PROFIBUS slaves do not have the same performance characteristics.
The characteristic properties of a slave are grouped together in a database (GSD file) containing
the data for the appliance. This file is used by all the master systems for correctly addressing the
slave and its individual possibilities.
This file is available in the C:\Program Files\Parvex\Profibus file for the DIGIVEX Motion
PROFIBUS (Eudp0792.gsd) range.
4.3 Operating in relation with SIMATIC S7
4.3.1 PROFIBUS-DP interface in SIMATIC S7
S7 masters can be CPUs with integrated PROFIBUS-DP interface such as for example
CPU314C-2DP, CPU315-2DP, CPU413-2DP, CPU414-2DP or CPU416-2DP. For corresponding
couplers (CP), please consult us.
The master station as well as the PROFIBUS network system are configured in the hardware
manager STEP7.

4.3.2 Adding DIGIVEX Motion to the module catalogue
• Start up the hardware configuration tool (SIMATICXXX > Hardware).
• Click on “Tools > Install new GSD”
• Select in C:\Program Files\Parvex\Profibus\Eudp0792.gsd
You should then see the “DIGIVEX Motion” slave catalogue displayed under PROFIBUS-DP >
