party F-Devices with AC500-S Safety PLC, the safety devices must be on the PROFINET
IO and support the PROFIsafe bus profile in V2 mode [3]. The basis for configuring all (Safety and Non-

tion are protected by a CRC [3]. GSDML files are supplied by the device manufacturers.

Only GSDML files with version 2.1 are fully supported by PS501 Control Builder Plus / ABB Automa-
tion Builder. GSDML files with version 2.2 and higher are only partially supported.
