9.8.4.2 Step 2 – Installation of the GSD file
For the subsequent configuration of the IO devices, e.g., AMS 348
i
, the corresponding GSD
file must be loaded first.
General information on the GSD file
The term GSD stands for the textual description of a PROFINET device model.
For the description of the more complex PROFINET device model, the XML-based GSDML
(Generic Station Description Markup Language) was introduced.
In the following, the terms "GSD" or "GSD file" always refer to the GSDML-based format.
The GSDML file can support an arbitrary number of languages in one file. Every GSDML file
contains a version of the AMS 348
i
device model. This is also reflected in the file name.
