The GSD is a standardized description file for a PROFIBUS slave. The GSD is used by
all controls, which are the PROFIBUS master.
You have two options to obtain the GSD for your inverter:
– You can find the SINAMICS inverter GSD on the Internet
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/22339653/133100).
– The GSD is saved in the inverter. The GSD is written to the memory card if you insert
the memory card in the Control Unit and set p0804 to 12. Using the memory card, you
can then transfer the GSD to your PG/your PC.
This somewhat more user-friendly method is only available for S7 controls and installed
