5.3 Encoder installation under STEP 7 environment

5.3.1 Description of the GSDML file

The functionality of a PROFINET IO device is always described in a
GSDML file. This file contains all data that are relevant for
engineering as well as for data exchange with the IO device.
PROFINET IO devices can be described using XML-based GSD.
The description language of the GSD file, i.e. GSDML (General
Station Description Markup Language) is based on international
standards. As the name suggests, the GSD file is a language-
independent XML file (Extensible Markup Language).
Profinet encoders from Datalogic Automation s.r.l. are supplied with
their own GSDML file: AMT58-xxx-13x14-PN.
See the enclosed documentation or click www.datalogic.com to get
the GSDML file.
