Device master file (GSD)

In order to integrate field devices into a bus system, the PROFINET system needs a description
of the device parameters, such as output data, input data, data format and data volume.
These data are available in the device master file (GSD) which is provided to the automation
system when the communication system is commissioned. In addition device bit maps, which
appear as icons in the network structure, can also be integrated.
The device master file (GSD) is in XML format, and the file is created in the GSDML
description markup language.
