14.6.1

GSD / GSDML information

The transfer of GSD / GSDML information is possible
The following application cases are possible with PAA:
● Device with the associated GSD / GSMDL information is placed and assigned parameters;
is transferred
● After the export to PCS 7, the device has to be placed and assigned parameters in the HW
configuration.

Objective and performance scope of the interface

Objective
User has the possibility of importing GSD / GSDML files and automatically creating a base
object structure under a desired node from this interpretable device description. The created
structure describes the possible slots, subslots and module configurations of the devices as a
COMOS base object structure with elements per slot and module. When the elements and slots
have been assigned, you can create the specific device structure in the Navigator under the
device by using the context menu.
Performance scope of the interface
● Finding suitable devices for the functional requirements
● Providing information on the properties of the selected measuring device
● Setting parameters and configuration for a device
● Documenting the selected properties of a device
● Deciding which signals are made available by a modular device
● Deciding which manufacturer device is used and direct access to the correct GSD / GSDML
file
● Providing the information on the configuration of the modular devices in the plant
documentation
