Configuring the PROFIBUS Scanner
5-3
Follow the steps outlined below only when a new GSD file needs to
be added to the SST PROFIBUS Configuration Software Tool.
Typically, this is only done once, after the software tool is initially
installed or if configuring a RECOMM-PBUS on the network for the
very first time with this software tool.
The software tool comes with standard data files as shown in figure
5.3. Additional data files, such as the RECOMM-PBUS GSD file, will
need to be added to configure the RECOMM-PBUS in the scanner.
Step 1.
Click on the “New Device” icon
to add GSD files to
the software library tool.
Step 2.
An “Add PROFIBUS devices” applet window will appear
(see figure 5.4). Prompts for the location of the
PROFIBUS data files to be added to the library will follow.
