Alternatively, the GSDML file can be loaded from the BPS with the webConfig tool (see chapter
9 "Starting up the device – webConfig tool"):

The GSDML file stored in the BPS is always compatible with the firmware version of the BPS.
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 following, the terms "GSD" or "GSD file" always
refer to the GSDML-based format.
• The GSDML file can support an arbitrary number of languages in one file.
• Every GSDML file contains a version of the BPS device model. This is also reflected in the file name.
NOTICE
The GSDML file is a certified and integral part of the device and must not be changed manually.
The GSDML file is not changed by the system either.
• In the GSDML file, all data necessary for operating the BPS is described in modules:
• Input and output data
• Device parameters
• Definition of control bits or status bits.
• 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.
The functionality of the BPS is defined via parameter sets. The parameters and their functions are struc-
tured in the GSDML file using modules. A user-specific configuration tool is used during PLC program cre-
ation to integrate the required modules and configure them appropriately for their respective use.
During operation of the BPS on the PROFINET all parameters are set to default values. If these parame-
ters are not changed by the user, the device functions with the default settings delivered by Leuze. The de-
fault settings of the BPS can be found in the module descriptions.
GSDML file name structure
The file name of the GSDML file is constructed according to the following rule:
GSDML-[GSDML schema version]-Leuze-[item description]-[date].xml
• [GSDML schema version] = Version identifier of the GSDML schema version used, e.g., V2.2
• [Date] = Release date of the GSDML file in the format yyyymmdd.
This date also stands for the release date of the file.
Example: GSDML-V2.2-Leuze-BPS348i-20131003.xml
Ä Configure the hardware of the S7 PLC:
Add the BPS to your project. The PROFINET system is configured with the help of the hardware config-
uration (HW-Config) of the SIMATIC Manager.
Assign an IP address a unique device name.
Ä Transfer the PROFINET configuration to the IOController (S7 PLC).
Following successful transfer, the following activities take place automatically:
• Check of device names
• Assignment of the IP addresses that were configured in the HW Config to the IOdevices
• Establishment of a connection between the IOController and configured IOdevices
• Cyclical data exchange
