The examples apply to all drive types that are compatible with the FENA and FSO
modules.

Downloading the GSD file

To configure the controller station, you need a type definition (GSD) file. In
PROFINET IO, the GSD file is written in an XML-based language called GSDML.
Download the FENA GSD file from the ABB Document library
(www.abb.com/drives/documents). The file name format is: GSDML-Vx.x-ABB-
FENA-yyyymmdd.xml.
The GSD file describes the vendor-specific, PROFIdrive-specific and PROFIsafe-
specific features of the adapter module. You can use the vendor-specific features, for
example, in the ABB Drives communication profile. The PROFIdrive profile supports
a set of services described in the PROFIdrive specification.
The actual PROFIsafe messages are processed in the FSO module. The GSD file
and the instructions in this chapter refer to the FENA adapter module which is the
device that is connected to PROFINET.

Configuring the ABB AC500-S Safety PLC

This example shows how to configure the communication between the ABB AC500-S
Safety PLC and the FENA-21 adapter module using PS501 Control Builder Plus
(software version 2.3.0).
Before you use the safety configuration and programming tools in PS501 Control
Builder Plus, you must study the AC500-S Safety PLC user manual (AC500-S Safety
User Manual (3ADR025091M0202 [English]). Only qualified persons are allowed to
work with the AC500-S Safety PLC.
You need a password to configure the safety parts of a Control Builder Plus project. In
all new PS501 Control Builder Plus projects, there is a default user "Owner" with an
empty password. This is a project administrator who can, for example, access the
safety controller station. For detailed information on the passwords and access
permissions in Control Builder Plus, see the AC500-S Safety PLC user manual.
You can find the complete documentation of ABB PLCs and the PS501 Control
Builder Plus application in www.abb.com/PLC.
Before you start, make sure that you have downloaded the FENA GSD file from the
ABB Document library. See section Downloading the GSD file on page 196.
