7 Configuration
Local configuration
The configuration of PROFIBUS communications for an AWT210
transmitter can be set locally using the keypad and menus
however it is recommended that the configuration is set
remotely by a Profibus master.

Integration using GSD
PROFIBUS devices differ with respect to available functionality
and parameters for each device type and manufacturer. In order
to obtain 'Plug-and-Play' configuration for PROFIBUS,
characteristic device communication features such as
manufacturer name, device name, hardware/software versions,
baud rate and the number and nature of inputs/outputs are
defined in an electronic device data sheet known as a GSD
(Generic Station Description) file.
A GSD file is readable ASCII text file that contains both general
and device-specific specifications for communication. Each of
the entries describes a feature supported by a device. By using
keywords, a configuration tool reads the device identification,
the adjustable parameters, the corresponding data type and
the permitted limit values for the configuration of the device
from the GSD. Some keywords are mandatory (for example,
Vendor_Name), others are optional (for example, Sync_Mode_
supported).
The GSD file for AWT210 transmitters specifies the device
specific Ident No. 3404 and conforms to the PROFIBUS
standard, providing a clear and comprehensive description of
each instrument in a precisely defined format. The description
enables the system configuration tool to use the information
automatically when configuring a PROFIBUS bus system.
The AWT210 GSD file (ABB_3404.gsd) is available for download
from the ABB website at:
www.abb.com/fieldbus (follow the link for PROFIBUS DP
field devices).
