Configuration

Plug & Play
To simplify configuration of the PROFIBUS-DP system, the DP master (PLC) is configured
with the aid of the PROFIBUS-DP configurator and the GSD files, or with the hardware
configurator in the PLC.

4 Loading the configuration into the system (e. g. PLC)
Fig. 4: Sequence of a configuration
The GSD file
The individual device features of a DP slave are specified clearly and comprehensively in
a precisely defined format in the GSD file by the manufacturer.
The PROFIBUS-DP configurator / hardware configurator (PLC)
This software can read in the GSD files of PROFIBUS-DP devices of any manufacturer
and integrate them for bus system configuration.
As early as the project design phase, the PROFIBUS-DP configurator automatically
checks the entered files for system consistency errors.
The result of the configuration is read into the DP master (PLC).
