these entries, you can adjust the details of the transfer area, or correct them and comment
on them.
Configuring an I-device with a GSD file
If you use an I-device in another project, or if the I-device is used in another engineering
system, then configure the higher-level IO controller and the I-device as described above.
However, click on the "Export" button after configuring the transfer areas so a new GSD file is
created from the I-device. This GSD file represents the configured I-device in other projects.
The "Export" button is found in the "I-device communication" section of the Inspector
window.
The hardware configuration is compiled and the export dialog opened.
Assign a name for the I-device proxy as well as a description in the fields provided. Click the
"Export" button to complete your process.
Finally, import the GSD file, for example, in another project.
