GSD Files
With PROFIBUS DP, the devices' power features are defined by the
manufacturer in a GSD file (General Station Description or device master data
file) and made available to the user.
Structure, content and coding of this device master data are standardized,
allowing configuration of any DP slaves via configuration devices from various
manufacturers.
More information on the GSD files
The “GSD files for PROFIBUS with installation program” (Item No. 750-910) can
be downloaded on the website
1.
Unpack the archive.
2.
Double-click the "GSD_Setup_Vxx.exe" (xx = version) to launch the setup
program.
3.
Follow the instructions in the setup program for installing the GSD files.
The GSD files are read by the configuration software and the corresponding
settings are transferred. Refer to the software user manuals for the required
entries and handling steps.

Identifier Bytes
Both the process data channel of the fieldbus coupler and the connected I/O
modules are configured.
The configuration results in a slot-based compilation of identifier bytes, usually
one byte per slot.
This compilation determines the structure and scope of input and/or output data
transferred during data exchange between the PROFIBUS master and fieldbus
coupler.
The PROFIBUS master transmits the identifier byte arrangement via a
configuration telegram for testing and possibly adjusting the target and actual
configuration.
Input and/or output data up to 16 words can be written with the general identifier
format, which occupies one identifier byte in the configuration telegram.
