In order to use 3 party F-Devices with AC500-S Safety PLC, the safety devices must be on the PROFINET
IO and support the PROFIsafe bus profile in V2 mode [3]. The basis for configuring all (Safety and Non-
Safety) PROFINET devices is the specification of the device in the GSDML file (Generic Station Description
Markup Language).
I/O device properties are saved in the GSDML file. For Safety PROFINET devices, portions of the specifica-
tion are protected by a CRC [3]. GSDML files are supplied by the device manufacturers.
NOTICE!
Only GSDML files with version 2.1 are fully supported by PS501 Control Builder Plus / ABB Automa-
tion Builder. GSDML files with version 2.2 and higher are only partially supported.
1. To install GSDML file go to "Device Repository..." menu.
