4.13. GSD File (PROFINET configuration file used by engineering tool)
GSD Generator Tool
When using the ADI-based configuration, it is possible to use a GSD Generator from HMS which will generate a
basic GSD file (up to date with the above differences) with correct ADI modules.
NOTE
The GSD generator only works for the 40-series.
The generator can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/starterkit40.
Modifications for Conformance Class B (if you want to disable support for IRT)
The example GSD file, supplied by HMS Industrial Networks, is prepared for testing an Anybus CompactCom 40
PROFINET IRT for conformance class C, which includes PROFINET isochronous communication mode (IRT). If the
implementation does not need the isochronous features of the device, the GSD file can be modified to reflect
this. The product can then be conformance tested for conformance class B instead. The list below describes the
changes needed in the example GSD file to accomplish this.
IMPORTANT
If IRT support is removed from the GSD file, it is not possible to use the device in the middle of an IRT
line. It has to be connected to the line using an IRT capable switch or placed at the end of the line.
1. The value of the ConformanceClass attribute in the <CertificationInfo...> element in each DAP
must be changed from "C" to "B":
<CertificationInfo ConformanceClass="B" ApplicationClass=""
NetloadClass="III"/>
2. The value of the SupportedRT_Classes attribute in the <InterfaceSubmoduleItem...> element in
each DAP must be "RT_CLASS_1". I.e. the "RT_CLASS_2" and "RT_CLASS_3" values must be removed.
<InterfaceSubmoduleItem ID="Interface" SubslotNumber="32768"
SubmoduleIdentNumber="0x00000002" SupportedRT_Classes="RT_CLASS_1"
TextId="T_ID_INTERFACE "SupportedProtocols="SNMP;LLDP" DCP_
HelloSupported="true" PTP_BoundarySupported="true"
DCP_BoundarySupported="true"
3. The elements <RT_Class3Properties ...>, <SynchronisationMode ...>, and
<RT_Class3TimingProperties ...> must be removed from each DAP.
