I/O Device Configuration

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.

GSD file for I/O device 750-340
The GSD file is read by the configuration software and the corresponding
settings are transferred. For the necessary entries and handling steps, please
refer to the software user manuals.
3.1.3.2

Configuration

The I/O device is configured in accordance with the physical arrangement of
the node (slot oriented).
Module slot 0 contains the fieldbus coupler in its function as station substitute.
It does not deliver any process data itself, but provides the parameters required
to perform overall settings of the I/O device.
Slots 1 to max. 128 reflect the physical arrangement of the I/O modules that
deliver a part of the process and/or diagnostics data. Supply modules without
diagnostics, internal system supply module, field side connection module as
well as separation and end modules are not considered during configuration as
they do not provide any process data and/or diagnostics data.
