GSD File Management
Each PROFIBUS device has a GSD file that is required to provide information
needed to configure the device for data exchange. The PLX50 Configuration Utility
manages the GSD library which is used for adding devices to the PLX51-PBM.
The GSD File Management Tool is opened by selecting
GSD File Management
under the Tool menu in the configuration utility.
