7.1 System Requirements
To integrate a Profibus DP slave into a system, the following requirements must be met:
• Electronic data sheet for the device – made available as a GSD/GSE file, by the device
manufacturer.
• Class 1 Master module (PLC, PC).
• Engineering system (Class 2 master module) with a network configuration tool.

7.2 Description
The GSD alone is sufficient for device integration, for data exchange between field devices and
automation systems. It is used and interpreted in the network configuration tool (CFG-X) – a
projecting tool for the master engineering system. - The basic functionality is:
• Simple text description of the device properties for DP communication.
