Standard and extended formats
The modules of some GSD files are transmitted with an extended identification (e.g.
0x42, 0x84, 0x08, 0x05). These GSD files can be found in the "Extended" folder.
All GSD files that have a standard identification (e.g. 0x94) can be found in the
"Standard" folder.
When integrating field transmitters, the GSD files with the extended identification should
be used first. If, however, the integration is not successful, the standard GSD should be
used. This differentiation is the result of a specific implementation in the master systems.

Working with GSD / type files
The GSD files must be integrated into the automation system.
Depending on the software that is being used, the GSD files can be copied to the
program-specific directory or can be read into the database using the import function
within the configuration software.
Example 1:
In the case of the configuration software Siemens STEP 7 (Siemens PLC S7-300 / 400)
the files are copied to the subdirectory ...\ siemens \ step7 \ s7data \ gsd.
The GSD files also contain bitmap files. These bitmap files are used to display the
measuring points in image form. The bitmap files will have to be saved to the directory
...\ siemens \ step7 \ s7data \ nsbmp.
Example 2:
If you have a PLC Siemens S5 where the PROFIBUS-DP network is configured with the
configuration software COM ET 200, you will have to use the type files (x.200 files).
If you are using configuration software other than that referred to above, ask your PLC
manufacturer which directory you should use.
Compatibility of Profile 2.0 and 3.0 devices
It is possible to operate Profile 2.0 and 3.0 devices with different GSD files in one system
using one DP master as the cyclic data for the automation system in both profile
versions is compatible.
Note!
In most cases, it is also possible to replace Profile 2.0 devices with Profile 3.0 devices
of the same type without having to repeat the configuration process.
This does not apply when replacing an E+H Profile 2.0 flow device with a Profile 3.0 flow
device. The functionality of the new generation of devices PROline (Profile 3.0) differs
from that of Profile 2.0 devices as do the names.
For this reason, PROline devices (Profile 3.0) have been issued with a new identification
number and as a result, an exchange of devices will involve the reconfiguration of the
automation system.
