System integration
Use of PROFIBUS PA profile B, B3.0 ensures interoperability and interchangeability of units.
Interoperability means that devices from different manufacturers can be physically connected to
a bus and are communication-ready. In addition, third-party devices can be interchanged
without having to reconfigure the process control system.
To support interchangeability, ABB provides three different GSD files (equipment master data)
that can be integrated in the system.
Users decide at system integration whether to install the full range of functions or only part.
Important
Units are interchanged using the parameter ID number selector, which can only be modified
on an acyclical basis.
The following table describes the available GSD files:
and all manufacturer-specific
