General information on the GSD file
If the AMS 200… is operated in a PROFIBUS network, configuration must be performed
exclusively via the PROFIBUS. The functionality of the laser measurement system is
defined via modules. The parameters and their functions are structured in the GSD file using
modules. A user-specific configuration tool is used during PLC program creation to integrate
the required modules and configure them appropriately for the measurement application.
During operation of the laser measurement system on the PROFIBUS all parameters are set
to default values. If these parameters are not changed by the user, the device functions
using the default settings supplied by Leuze electronic. For the default settings of the device
please refer to the following module descriptions.
Notice
!
A least one module in the GSD file must be activated in the configuration tool for the control,
usually the
Position value module
.
Notice
!
Some controls make available a so-called "universal module". This module must not be ac-
tivated for the AMS 200…
Attention
!
The AMS 200… makes available a PROFIBUS, an SSI and an RS 2
3
2 interface. All inter-
faces can be operated in parallel. If the laser is operated via the PROFIBUS, the SSI/RS 2
3
2
parameters must also be changed via the PROFIBUS/SSI/RS 2
3
2 modules if they differ
from the default settings.
SSI/RS 2
3
2 parameters which are only changed via the display are overwritten by the
PROFIBUS manager with the SSI/RS 2
3
2 default values stored in the GSD file.
Notice
!
For test purposes parameters can be changed via the display on a laser measurement sys-
tem operated on the PROFIBUS. As soon as parameter enabling is activated on the display,
the device is deactivated on the PROFIBUS. All parameters set via PROFIBUS modules re-
main effective. Parameter changes can now be made via the display for test purposes. If pa-
rameter enabling is deactivated via the display, only the parameters set in the PROFIBUS
modules and the PROFIBUS default settings are in effect.
Parameter changes made via the display are no longer in effect on the PROFIBUS
!
Attention
!
The laser measurement system does not permanently store parameters changed via the
PROFIBUS. Following Power OFF/ON the currently configured parameters are downloaded
by the PROFIBUS manager. If no PROFIBUS manager is available following Power OFF/
ON, the parameters set on the display apply.
