GSD file
Under normal circumstances, the SP-PROFIBUS-DP module is operated on a DP master that
reads the device characteristics from the GSD file.
You will find the GSDML file and the equipment symbol for integration in a PLC of the product
website of the SP-PROFIBUS-DP on the Internet (https://eshop.wieland-electric.com/).
Operating data transferred by the SP-PROFIBUS-DP module
The GSD file of the SP-PROFIBUS-DP module provides input and output data blocks (virtual I/O
device modules), which contain the operating data. These 5 blocks must be projected in a na-
tural sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in a DP configurator. No other sequence is possible.

• Depending on the PLC used, further modules may be shown (e.g. "Universal module").
These modules are not required and should be ignored.
• Data blocks 1–4 each contain 12 bytes, while data block 5 contains 2 bytes.
The content of the data blocks can be freely selected, but has been preconfigured as follows in
