Configuring the Profibus Master Chapter 4
This action opens the ProSoft Configuration Builder for Profibus MVI56-
PDPMV1 configuration tool.
Installing GSD Files ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software uses Profibus slave definition files
(GSD files) to obtain basic configuration information about the Profibus slaves you
add to the network. The GSD configuration files identify the slave's capabilities so
that the MVI56-PDPMV1 module can correctly communicate with it.
Example: The 20-750-PBUS GSD file is named ‘20750D3B.gsd’. It is the GSD
file for the 20-750-PBUS option module in the drive and can be downloaded at
http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate . The configuration tool only
requires the 20-750-PBUS GSD file for the 20-750-PBUS option module to be
registered one time in this tool to configure networks with a connection to this
option module.
Follow these steps to install the GSD file or files for your slave module or modules.
1. From the Tools menu, choose ‘Install new GS*-file’.
