Create GSD file
Devices with PROFIBUS protocol need a GSD file. The
GSD file is a file which is specific for the device, in
which the transmission parameters, the kind of measure-
ment data are agreed between the PROFIBUS master
and the PROFIBUS Slave.
With this module, measured values and inputs and out-
puts can be selected for transmission to the PLC.
As a result of the configuration, a GSD file is created for
the PLC and programming data are generated for the
UMG 503. The programming data for the UMG 503 are
deposited as a text at the beginning of the GSD file. The
programming data must be entered in the UMG 503
under "input buffer", "output buffer" und "User-Parame-
ter-buffer".
Configuration of UMG 503
A simple configuration of the UMG 503 can be carried
out directly at the device via the three keys and display. A
configuration of the UMG 503 from PC is possible with
the option "Configuration of UMG 503". Configurations
can be saved and printed out at PC.
Additionally, an expanded configuration of the ring buf-
fer is possible. The selection of six memory areas makes
possible a better usage of the ring buffer. Each memory
area can be assigned to one mean value. The recording is
done either within or out of the destined area, which is
limited by two selectable limits.
Only those mean values are saved in the ring buffer,
which are within the memory area.
