6.2 Device description files
▶ Download the current device description files from the
Weidmüller website.
These include:
– GSDML files for PROFINET couplers
– GSD files for PROFIBUS couplers
– ESI files for EtherCAT couplers
– EDS files for Ethernet/IP couplers
– EDS files for DeviceNet couplers
– EDS files for CANopen couplers
– XDD files for POWERLINK couplers
If bitmap files for visualising the couplers are also
supplied, store them in the same folder as the

device description files.

You require the current device description
files in order to use all the functions of the
UR20-4COM-IO-LINK communication module.
The naming convention for GSDML files always follows this
pattern: GSDML_V2.3-WI-UR20-yyyymmdd.xml. The date
in the file name (dd.mm.yyyy) indicates the version of the
GSDML file and helps to determine whether you are already
using the latest version.
The version number of a GSD file can be found from the file.
If you open the file with a GSD editor, you can find the ver-
sion number in the "Info_Text" entry. If you open the file with
a text editor, you can find the version number in the entry
comment.
The version number of an ESI file can be found from the file.
If you open the file with a text editor, you can find the version
number in the "FileVersion" attribute of the "Vendor" tag.
The version number of an EDS file can be found from the file.
Open the file using a text editor.
– Ethernet/IP: "Revision" entry in the "File" section
– DeviceNet: "Revision" entry in the "File" section
– CANopen: "FileVersion" entry in the "FileInfo" section
The version number of an XDD file can be found from the
file. If you open the file with a text editor, you can find the
version number in the "FileVersion" attribute of the "Profile-
Body" tag.
