Master configuration

Overview

This chapter describes the principle of configuring the PROFINET
IO master station for communication through the RETA-02
PROFINET IO Adapter module.

Configuring the system

After the RETA-02 PROFINET IO Adapter module has been
mechanically and electrically installed according to the instructions
in previous chapters, and has been initialised by the drive, the
master station must be prepared for communication with the
module.
Configuration of the master station requires a type definition
(GSD) file. In PROFINET IO the GSD file is written in XML based
language called GSDML. RETA-02 has a GSD file, which is
available from www.profinet.com,
representative. The filename is GSDML-Vx.x-ABB-RETA02-
yyyymmdd.xml.
The GSD file describes vendor specific features and PROFIdrive
specific features of the adapter. Vendor specific features can be
used e.g. in ABB Drives communication profile. PROFIdrive mode
supports a set of services described in the PROFIdrive
specification.
Please refer to the master station documentation for more
information on activating PROFINET IO devices with GSD file.

System requirements

To use the vendor specific features the master station should
support GSDML v1.0 and one subslot per slot. To use the
PROFIdrive mode the master system should support GSDML 2.0
or 2.1 and multiple subslots per slot.
