Proline Promass 83 PROFIBUS DP/PA Commissioning
Endress+Hauser 87
Name of the Promass 83 GSD file
Each device receives an ID number from the Profibus User Organisation (PNO). The name of the
Device Master File (GSD file) and the associated files is derived from this. For Endress+Hauser, this
ID No. starts with the manufacturer ID 15xx, followed by corresponding device ID.
In order to ensure clarity and make assignment easier, the GSD names (with the exception of type
files) at Endress+Hauser are as follows:
GSD file in standard and 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
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.
