What Is A Gsd File? |
|
Answer» A GSD file is used to identify the basic operational characteristics of a PROFIBUS DEVICE, to aid interoperability and interchangeability. It makes it possible to have manufacturer-independent configuration tools. Typically, a GSD file includes VENDOR information, baudrates, timing information, the options or features supported and the available I/O signals. A GSD file must be available for every PROFIBUS SLAVE. A GSD file is used to identify the basic operational characteristics of a PROFIBUS device, to aid interoperability and interchangeability.
