Chapter 4 Configuring the PROFIBUS Master
7. After choosing 1769 E3xE, click Configure PROFIBUS.
The ProSoft Configuration Builder for PROFIBUS MVI69-PDPMV1
configuration tool appears.
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 MVI69-PDPMV1 module can communicate
with it correctly.
Example: The 25-COMM-P GSD file is named ‘ROCK0E0B.gsd’. It is the GSD
file for the 25-COMM-P adapter in the drive and can be downloaded at
http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate . The configuration tool only
requires the 25-COMM-P GSD file for the 25-COMM-P adapter to be
registered one time in this tool to configure networks with a connection to this
adapter.
Follow these steps to install the GSD file or files for your slave module or
modules.
