General Information
Setting Identity and Function Information
The GSD file must be adapted to your implementation. First thing is the device identity.
In the GSD file there is a section called "DeviceIdentity". It looks like this.
<DeviceIdentity VendorID="0x010C" DeviceID="0x0010">
<InfoText TextId="T_ID_DEV_DESCRIPTION"/>
<VendorName Value="HMS Industrial Networks"/>
</DeviceIdentity>
The identity in the example represents HMS values.
• Replace VendorID value 0x010C with the value which corresponds to your vendor name.
If you do not have a Vendor ID you can obtain this by contacting PI.
The VendorID must match what is configured for the PROFINET IO Object (0xF6) attribute #2 (Vendor ID).
• Replace the DeviceID value 0x0010 with the value you have selected for this device.
The DeviceID must match what is configured for the PROFINET IO Object (0xF6) attribute #1 (Device ID). Please
note that if you change the Device ID you MUST also change the Vendor ID, as the Device ID is unique for the
Vendor ID.
• Replace the VendorName value "HMS Industrial Networks" with name of your vendor.
Please note that the keyword VendorName is found not only here, but also at other places in the GSD file. Use
"Search"to find all instances and replace them with the name of your vendor.
Specify the function of the device.
<DeviceFunction>
<Family MainFamily="General" ProductFamily="Anybus CompactCom 40
PIR"/>
</DeviceFunction>
The example GSD specifies a kind of "General" device as the usage of it is unclear.
• Replace the MainFamily with the class that best describe the device. The following are the allowed values:
– General
– Drives
– Switching Devices
– I/O
– Valves
– Controllers
– HMI
– Encoders
– NC/RC
– Gateway
– PLCs
– Ident Systems
– PA Profiles
– Network Components
– Sensors
• Replace the ProductFamily value "Anybus CompactCom 40 PIR" with a string which describes your device.
In addition to the above, there are a few more places where identity related information is present in the GSD
file.
