NOTICE
Observe when configuring PROFINET devices!
Ä
Always
perform the basic configuration using the GSDML file (GSDML=Generic Station De-
scription Markup Language).
Ä
Download the appropriate GSDML file from the Internet:
www.leuze.com
.
Ä
In process operation, the input/output data of the respective, activated GSDML modules are
exchanged with the control.
Ä
If you switch the device to the
Service
operating mode via the webConfig tool, the device is
disconnected from the PROFINET.
General information on the GSDML file
The term GSD (Generic Station Description) stands for the textual description of a PROFINET device
model. For the description of the complex PROFINET device model, the XML-based GSDML (Generic Sta-
tion Description Markup Language) was introduced.
In the GSDML file, all data necessary for operating the device is described in modules: Input and output
data, definition of the control and status bits.
The GSDML file can support an arbitrary number of languages in one file. Every GSDML file contains a
version of the DCR 248i device model. This is also reflected in the file name.
The GSDML file is a certified and integral part of the device and must not be changed. The file is not
changed by the system either. If parameters are changed in the project tool, for example, these changes
are stored by the control in the project, not in the GSDML file.
NOTICE
GSDML file name structure
The file name of the GSDML file is constructed according to the following rule:
GSDML-[GSDML schema version]-Leuze-DCR248i-[date].xml
[GSDML schema version]
= Version identifier of the GSDML schema version used, e.g., V2.32
[Date]
= Release date of the GSDML file in the format yyyymmdd
This date also stands for the release date of the file.
Example:
GSDML-V2.32-LEUZE-DCR248i-20170505.xml

Configuring for the Siemens SIMATIC-S7 control
The functionality of the device is defined via input/output data, which is organized in modules (see chapter
10.4 "PROFINET project modules"). The modules are part of the GSDML file (see chapter 10.2 "GSDML
file").
By using a user-specific configuration tool, such as SIMATIC Manager or TIA Portal for the Siemens
SIMATIC S7 control (S7 PLC), the required modules are integrated in a project during PLC programming.
These modules are provided by the GSD file.
NOTICE
Observe SIMATIC Manager version!
Ä
For the Siemens SIMATIC-S7 control, you need at least SIMATIC Manager version 5.4 +
service pack 5 (V5.4+SP5).
The following steps are necessary for commissioning:
• Start code reader
• Preparation of the control
• Installation of the GSDML file
• Hardware configuration of the control (S7 PLC)
• Transmission of the PROFINET-IO configuration to the IO Controller (S7 PLC)
