GSD file
Under normal circumstances, the SP-PROFIBUS-DP module is operated on a DP master that reads
the device characteristics from the GSD file.
You will find the GSDML file and the equipment symbol for integration in a PLC of the product websi-
te of the SP-PROFIBUS-DP on the Internet (https://eshop.wieland-electric.com/).
Process data transmitted by the SP-PROFIBUS-DP module
The GSD file of the SP-PROFIBUS-DP module provides input and output data blocks (virtual I/O de-
vice modules), which contain the process data. These 5 blocks must be projected in a natural se-
quence (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in a DP configurator. No other sequence is possible.

NOTICE
• Depending on the PLC used, further modules may be shown (e.g. "Universal module"). These
modules are not required and should be ignored.
• Data blocks 1–4 each contain 12 bytes, while data block 5 contains 2 bytes.
