Leuze electronic RSL 420P - GSDML File

11.2 GSDML file
The functionality of the safety laser scanner via the PROFINET interface is defined with input/output data
that is defined in the modules of the GSDML file (see chapter 11.5 "PROFINET project modules").
A user-specific configuration tool is used during PLC program creation to integrate the required modules
and configure them appropriately for their respective use.
When operating the device on the PROFINET, all input/output data is occupied with default values. If this
input/output data is not changed by the user, the device operates with the default settings set by Leuze on
delivery. The default settings of the device can be found in the module descriptions.
NOTICE
Observe when configuring PROFINET devices!
Ä Always perform the basic configuration using the GSDML file (GSDML=Generic Station De-
scription Markup Language).
Ä Download the appropriate GSDML file from the Internet: www.leuze.com.
Ä In process operation, the input/output data of the respective, activated GSDML modules are
exchanged with the control.
Ä Settings configured with the Sensor Studio configuration software are overwritten by the
PROFINET master with the settings made via the GSDML file upon connection to
PROFINET.
General information on the GSDML file
The term GSD (Generic Station Description) stands for the textual description of a PROFINET device
model. For the description of the complex PROFINET device model, the XML-based GSDML (Generic Sta-
tion Description Markup Language) was introduced.
• In the GSDML file, all data necessary for operating the device is described in modules:
• Input and output data
• Definition of control bits or status bits.
• During configuration, different module structures and their properties can be selected via Device Ac-
cess Points (DAPs) that are created in the GSDML file.
• The GSDML file can support an arbitrary number of languages in one file. Every GSDML file contains a
version of the RSL400 PROFIsafe device model. This is also reflected in the file name.
• The GSDML file is a certified and integral part of the device and must not be changed. The file is not
changed by the system either. If parameters are changed in the project tool, for example, these
changes are stored by the control in the project, not in the GSDML file.
NOTICE
GSDML file name structure
The file name of the GSDML file is constructed according to the following rule:
GSDML-[GSDML schema version]-Leuze-RSL400P [connection unit]-[date].xml
[GSDML schema version] = Version identifier of the GSDML schema version used, e.g., V2.34
[Date] = Release date of the GSDML file in the format yyyymmdd
This date also stands for the release date of the file.
Example: GSDML-V2.34-LEUZE-RSL400P CUM12-20190608.xml
for RSL400 PROFIsafe devices with M12 connection unit
The following connection units are defined for the GSDML files:
Ä CUM12: connection unit with M12 connectors/sockets
Ä CU4M12: connection unit with L-coded M12 connectors/sockets for the voltage supply
Ä CUAIDA: connection unit with push-pull connectors/sockets for copper cables
Ä CUAIDAOF: connection unit with push-pull connectors/sockets for fiber-optic cables
