Modbus
Instruments in a Modbus system can be monitored and operated using third party software as a master device, such as
LabVIEW, ModScan, or a Modbus PLC.
PROFIBUS-DP
Instruments in a PROFIBUS DP system can be monitored and operated using third party software as a master device, such as
TIA Portal (by Siemens).
To configure a device, a so-called GSD file (General Station Description) has to be loaded into the software. The GSD file
contains all necessary configuration information to operate the device in a PROFIBUS DP system, including all available
operating parameters with their data types.
A GSD file for Bronkhorst® instruments can be downloaded from the product pages on the Bronkhorst website:
DeviceNet™
Instruments in a DeviceNet™ system can be monitored and operated using third party software as a master device, such as
TIA Portal (by Siemens).
To configure a device, a so-called EDS file (Electronics Data Sheet) can be loaded into the software. The EDS file contains all
necessary configuration information to operate the device in a DeviceNet™ system, including communication and network
configuration, and all available operating parameters with their data types.

EtherCAT®
Instruments in an EtherCAT® system can be monitored and operated using third party software as a master device, such as <
%BRANDNAME_SYCON%> (by Hilscher GmbH).
To configure a device, a so-called ESI file (EtherCAT® Slave Information) can be loaded into the software. The ESI file contains
all necessary configuration information to operate the device in a EtherCAT® system, including communication and network
configuration, and all available operating parameters with their data types.

PROFINET
Instruments in a PROFINET system can be monitored and operated using third party software as a master device, such as TIA
Portal (by Siemens).
To configure a device, a so-called GSDML file (General Station Description Markup Language) can be loaded into the
software. The GSDML file contains all necessary information, in XML format, to operate the device in a PROFINET system,
including communication and network configuration, and all available operating parameters with their data types.
