Inhaltsverzeichnis
Device description file
GSD-files are device description files originating of the PROFIBUS- and PROFINET-world. This GSD files are describing the functionality and features of a device and they are needed by the project-design-software for the device intergration into a project. GSD-files of Deutschmann devices can be downloaded from our web site, please check the download area (Weblinks).
A PROFINET GSD-file may contain the descriptions of several versions or variants of a device resp. a device family. For the projecting has to be used the description fitting to the device (Example: "UNIGATE CL-Profinet 2Port V2.4" for a CL 2Port-device with firmware-version 2.4).
PROFINET-specification is continiously evolved. Therefore also our devices are following the technical progress. Please find here a list of the certified firmware-versions with the corresponding GSDML-file for our UNIGATE CL-devices.
