6.5 PROFIBUS DP/PA system integration
6.5.1 Device master file (GSD file)
For PROFIBUS network configuration, the device master file (GSD file) is needed for every
bus user (PROFIBUS slave). The GSD file contains a description of the properties of a
PROFIBUS device, such as supported data transmission rate and number of input and output
data.
Before configuration takes place, a decision should be made as to which GSD file should be
used to operate the measuring device in the PROFIBUS DP master system.
The measuring device supports the following GSD files:
• Promag 53 GSD file (manufacturer-specific GSD file, complete device functionality)
• PROFIBUS Profile GSD file:
• Promag 33 GSD file (compatibility to previous model Promag 33)
Below you will find a detailed description of the GSD files supported.
Promag 53 GSD file (manufacturer-specific GSD file, complete device functionality)
Use this GSD file to access the complete functionality of the measuring device. In this way,
device-specific measured variables and functions are thus completely available in the
PROFIBUS master system. An overview of the modules available (input and output data) is
contained on the following pages:
PROFIBUS DP → 105
PROFIBUS PA→ 115
GSD file with standard or extended format:
The GSD file with either the standard or the extended format must be used depending on the
configuration software used. When installing the GSD file, the GSD file with the extended
format (EH3x15xx.gsd) should always be used first.
However, if the installation or the configuration of the measuring device fails with this
format, then use the standard GSD (EH3_15xx.gsd). This differentiation is the result of
different implementation of the GSD formats in the master systems. Note the specifications
of the configuration software.
