Integrating The Device Database File In Your Configuration Software - Siemens SIMATIC ET 200S Manual

GSD file
You configure the ET 200S distributed I/O system using the device database file
(*.GSD file). The ET 200S is integrated in your system as a standard slave by
means of the device database file. You can download the *.GSD file in either of the
following ways:
• From the Internet at http://www.ad.siemens.de/csi_e/gsd
The following *.GSD files are available:
• IM151-1 BASIC: "SIEM80F3.GSx"
• IM151-1 STANDARD: "SI03806A.GSx"
• IM151-1 FO STANDARD: "SI03806B.GSx"
• IM151-1 HIGH FEATURE: "SI0180E0.GSx"
