I/O Device Configuration; Gsd File - WAGO 750-370 Manual

3.1.3 I/O Device Configuration

The fieldbus coupler takes over the task of the I/O device in PROFINET IO.
This way, an I/O controller can access the process data of the I/O module
periphery after the cyclic exchange of productive data has been successfully
established. Selecting the I/O modules for the process data exchange and
defining the time grid is done when configuring the I/O controller. The
configuration and parameter setting of the fieldbus coupler and I/O modules is
based on the device's GSD file.
3.1.3.1

GSD File

Under PROFIBUS IO, the features of the devices are described by the
manufacturer in form of a GSD file and made available to the user. The file is
provided in XML format.
Structure, content and coding of the device specifications are standardized, so
that any I/O devices can be configured using manufacturer-independent tools.
Further Information
The PNO provides information about the GSD files of all listed manufacturers.
GSD and symbol files for configuring the WAGO I/O devices can be obtained
on CD under the item number 750-916 or on the WAGO INTERNET site.
