7. Select the operating mode:
Select the operating mode (GSD file) which should be used for cyclic data transmission with
the PROFIBUS Master.
COMMUNICATION SELECTION GSD Selection of one of the following options:
– MANUFACT. SPEC. (factory setting): the complete device functionality is available.
– PROFILE-GSD: The device is operated in the PROFIBUS Profile mode.
!
Note!
For PROFIBUS network configuration, make sure that the right device master file (GSD file) of
the measuring device is used for the selected operating mode ä 61
8. Configuration of cyclic data transmission in the PROFIBUS master:

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
participant (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 (class 1) system.
The measuring device supports the following GSD files:
• t-mass GSD file (manufacturer-specific GSD file, complete device functionality)
• PROFIBUS Profile GSD file:
Below you will find a detailed description of the GSD files supported.
t-mass 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 ä 64
GSD file with standard or extended format
The GSD file with either the standard or the extended format must be used depending on the
PROFIBUS Master 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 PROFIBUS Master.
