The SINAMICS S DXB GSD file contains among other things standard telegrams, free
telegrams and slave-to-slave telegrams for configuring direct data exchange. With the aid of
these telegram parts and an axis separator, a telegram for the drive unit must be composed
for each drive object.
Processing a GSD file in HW Config is covered in the SIMATIC documentation. Suppliers of
PROFIBUS components can provide their own bus configuration tool. The description of the
respective bus configuration tool is described in the relevant documentation.
