2.3.1 Installing the GSD Files

The GSD configuration files contain information on PROFIBUS slaves that you
can configure as part of your PROFIBUS network. In order for this configuration
information to be available in ProSoft Configuration Builder, you must install the
GSD files.
Tip: GSD configuration files for popular Schneider Electric and ProSoft Technology modules are
included with the installation. If you have other GSD files for your PROFIBUS slaves, copy them
into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ProSoft\GSD (Windows XP / 2000) or
C:\My Documents\ (Windows 98), and ProSoft Configuration Builder will load them automatically.
