3.9 CANopen Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)

Each device on CANopen is associated with a CANopen Electronic Data Sheet (a.k.a EDS file), which
holds a description of the device and its functions. Most importantly, the file describes the object dic-
tionary implementation in the device. This file should be uploaded to the CANopen configuration tool.
The latest version of the EDS file for the Anybus X-gateway CANopen can be downloaded from the
HMS website, 'www.anybus.com'.

3.10 PROFIBUS GSD Files

On PROFIBUS, the characteristics of a device is stored in a file with the suffix 'GSD' (Generic Station
Description). This file is used by the PROFIBUS configuration tool when setting up the network.
HMS provides a generic GSD file, which corresponds to the default settings in the module. This file is
available for download from the HMS website, www.anybus.com, or can be obtained by contacting
HMS.
