Generic IO Device DTM
There are two means to represent a PROFINET IO Device for configuration in CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
1
The GSDML file basically describes an IO Device by showing the selectable modules an IO
Device can contain and its settable parameters. However, online configuration is not possible
with a GSDML file.
A GSDML file is mandatory for every PROFINET IO Device, in order to enable any IO Controller
to be configured for communication with the IO Device.
A PROFINET GSDML file is comparable to a PROFIBUS GSD file. However, a PROFINET
GSDML file is in XML format while a PROFIBUS GSD file is in plain ASCII text format.

A DTM (Device Type Manager) is a program that runs in a FDT (Field Device Tool) container. It
fulfills the basic function of a GSDML file by supplying the module and parameter information to
the IO Controller. In addition it can also go directly online with the actual IO Device and allow
online configuration. To accommodate the user, normally a DTM has intuitive screens to help
the user configuring the IO Device.
The module and parameter information is passed to the IO Controller DTM so it can be used to build a
configuration file. When this file is downloaded into the IO Controller it can perform I/O Data-exchange
with the IO Devices.
Apart from the configuration of OMRON PROFINET IO Devices by a DTM, OMRON provides the possi-
bility to use GSDML files to allow configuration of third-party PROFINET IO Device Units, if a DTM is
not provided.
To accommodate GSDML files in an FDT-container, OMRON supplies a PROFINET IO Generic Device
DTM. The GSDML files of the PROFNET IO Devices must be imported in CX-ConfiguratorFDT. The
Generic device DTM will recognize the GSDML files and make them available for configuration with the
PROFINET IO Controller.
The section setup using the GSDML file discusses the configuration of the PROFINET IO CX-Configu-
ratorFDT using this GSDML file.
Using the GSDML file for configuration allows the user to configure the PROFINET IO Controller Unit
for I/O data exchange with PROFINET IO Devices. It does not, however, provide the acyclic messaging
capabilities to access parameters and status information in PROFINET IO Devices, such as accessing
the parameters in individual SmartSlice I/O Units. The GRT1-PNT DTM does provide this capability.
For example: A GSDML file for the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Device is available for download
(GSDML-V2.1-OMRON-GRT1-PNT-20081205.xml) through the OMRON Web site:

Configuration using the DTM is the preferred method over GSDML alternatives.
