10.1.1 Generic station description (GSD)
A generic station description (GSD) contains a description of the properties
of a PROFINET IO device, e.g., the data transmission rate supported by the
device or the digital information the PLC receives from the device and the
formatofthisinformation.BitmaplesarealsoGSDles.Thestatusofthe
PROFINETIOdeviceisvisualizedusingtheseles.
The generic station description as well as the respective bitmaps are need-
ed to plan a PROFINET IO network. Every device receives an ID number
from the PROFINET IO user organization (PNO).

thersttime,youwillhavetoloadthegenericstationdescriptionofthe
DL100 Pro into the hardware catalog of the network engineering tool (e.g.,
TIA-Manager from Siemens).
1. DownloadtheGSDlefromthewww.sick.com/dl100webpage.
2. Follow the instructions in the online help or in the user manual of the
