PLC Setup using GSD files

A GSD file is a device description file in a specified format. The format must conform to the
Profibus™ Trade Organization (PTO) guidelines. Contact Siemens customer service for GSD
files.
Each device on the Profibus™ network must have a GSD file. The GSD file provides all relevant
data associated with a specific device for use by the configuration tool.
The GSD file provides an option for 136 bytes of input and output. If the configuration tool
cannot accommodate 136 bytes, the GSD file allows the choice of adding 8 or 16 bytes at a
time, until the correct quantity of input and output bytes are selected.
● To communicate with the drive, you must configure the Profibus™ master to have the same
quantity of bytes that are set by parameter 'Network 1 I/O Size' (9951) or 'Network 2 I/O
Size' (9952).
