6 Project Design and Unit Description with GSDML File

A GSDML file is specified as technical manual for PROFINET (see [4]). KEB provides
such a technical manual file for the PROFINET slaves. This file is in most cases nec-
essary for a PROFINET configuring tool. The actual version of the KEB F5 PROFINET
GSDML file contains no object dictionary and therefore it is not drive converter unit-type
dependent.
At PROFINET all slaves contain slots and these slots have one or more subslots. Mod-
ule/submodule combinations can be plugged into these slots/subslot combinations. The
project design in case of the F5 PROFINET operator applies as follows:
Slot 0
Slot 1
(Slot 2)
Table 3:
Slot 3, from software V2.8:
This slot is necessary in order that a standard Siemens PLC with PROFINET controller
allows the acyclic parameter access to PROFIdrive-profile to this unit. This functional-
ity is already available in slot0, but is make available again here (see reasons above).
The module that can be plugged into this slot and allows the acyclic communication
to PROFIdrive Base Mode Parameter Access is named PROFIdrive_PAP (PROFIdrive
Parameter Access Point).
Table 4:
Is always available and can not be changed. Acyclic parameter
accesses (among other things) are processed via this slot.
Process input data: Only one input module can be plugged into
this slot with
• a submodule for 8 byte process input data (4x16bit inputs) or
• a submodule for 16 byte process input data (8x16bit inputs)
Process output data: Only one output module can be plugged into
this slot with
• a submodule for 8 byte process output data (4x16bit outputs)
or
• a submodule for 16 byte process output data (8x16bit out-
puts)
