Profibus-DP .GSD File
All devices connected to a Profibus-DP network require a *.gsd file. The *.gsd file contains all the
parameters including the baud rate, table formats and necessary data required by the network PLC
when an HI 6600 or HI 6510 is connected to the network.
You must download the proper *.GSD file from the Hardy website.
1) Navigate from the products section to the HI 6600 web page.
2) Click on the Tab, Docs & Programs and scroll down to Documents and Programs.
Select the *.GSD option to download the file.
Regardless of Simatic Manager you use, you must go through these three steps:
1) Connect the HI 6600 Series Instrument to the Profibus DP network and verify the address.
(See the Installation Section for Installation and Cabling Instructions.)
2) Connect the PC to the Trunk Line. Load the configuration properties to the initialization
software on the PC and transfer them to the PLC.
3) Install the *.gsd file.
Pre-Initialization Procedures
1) Inspect the network cables and make sure that the cables have been installed correctly and
satisfy the Profibus-DP guidelines for the data transmission baud rate(s) required. (See the
Cabling Chapter/Profibus Installation in this manual for Profibus-DP cable specifications
and cabling guidelines.)
2) Select the Node address for the HI 6600 or HI 6510. as shown above. This can be done
before or after Initialization.
3) Cycle power, or perform the two previous steps before powering up your network. Address
selection can only occur after cycling the power. Make sure that the software you use will
detect the values as you have set them.
4) Complete any additional configuration that is required by your PLC for
initialization. Our initialization example is for a Siemens PLC. Your PLC
initialization requirements may differ.
5) Install the *.GSD file for the instrument you connected to the Profibus Network.
ATTENTION L’adresse ne devrait jamaisêtre changée durant le
fonctionnement. Si l’adresse est modifiée pendant la miseen ligne, une erreur
interne pourrait être créée et le module sera déconnecté du réseau.
CAUTION: The address should never be changed during operation. if the address is
modified while on line, an internal error could be generated and the instrument
disconnected from the network.
