Most of the current PROFIBUS DP slave devices are supplied with a GSD file
in order to allow a configurator to setup a configuration for that particular slave
device. OMRON's Generic Slave Device DTM is provided to allow integration
of the GSD file based configuration options into an FDT Container application,
like CX-Profibus.
The GSD files are stored in a separate sub-directory under CX-Profibus.
Upon updating the Device Catalogue, the Generic Slave Device DTM will
scan this sub-directory and present an entry in the Device Catalogue for each
of the GSD files found.
Upon adding the GSD based slave device to the network, an instance of the
Generic Slave Device DTM will be made in the PC memory, which will read
the GSD file contents. The instance of the Generic Slave Device DTM will pro-
vide the user interface necessary to make the settings for the associated
slave device.
