The GSD files can be found as follows:
● On the Internet:
● On the CD of the STARTER commissioning tool
● 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 slave-to-slave communication. 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.
