5.3 Loading the device database and type files (GSD)
5.3.1 Meaning of the GSD files
A device database file (GSD) contains a description of the properties of the PROFIBUS device, e.g.
the supported transmission rates and the type and format of the digital information output to
the PLC. Additional bitmap files are required in order to represent the device by an icon in the
network design software. The device database and bitmap files are needed for the
commissioning of a PROFIBUS DP network.
5.4 First setup
