GSD during operation

In special generic station description files (GSD), the properties of a PROFIBUS slave are
uniquely and fully described to use PROFIBUS direct data exchange for SINAMICS.
The GSD files can be found:
● On the Internet. For the link, see Preface (Page 5)
● On the DVD SINAMICS DCP Documentation at Accessories. For ordering data, see
Chapter Ordering information for options and accessories (Page 28).
● On the memory card in directory

The SINAMICS S DXB GSD file contains among other things standard telegrams, free
telegrams and slave-to-slave telegrams for configuring direct data exchange. The user must
take these telegram parts and an axis separator after each drive object to compose a
telegram for the drive unit.
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.
Device identification
Identification for individual slaves facilitates diagnostics and provides an overview of the
nodes on the PROFIBUS.
The information for each slave is stored in the Control Unit parameter r0964[0...6] device
identification.
