GSD Files
Each PROFIBUS-DP manufacturer uses standard device description files to
define the PROFIBUS-DP device functionalities on the network. These definitions
are called GSD files. The set of device description files (GSD files) build the
device database.
PROLINX Devices
The GSD files for PROLINX devices are located on the ProLinx Solutions DVDin
the \ProLinx\Utilities\PDPS_GSD folder.
Refer to E:\ProLinx\Utilities\PDPS_GSD\ProLinx_PDPS\readme.pdf to determine
the correct GSD files to use.
To import the ProLinx GSD files:
1 In SyCon, open the File menu, and choose Copy GSD.
2 In the Copy GSD dialog box, navigate to your DVDdrive, and select the path
\ProLinx\Utilities\PDPS_GSD.
3 Press [Ctrl][A] to select all the GSD files in that folder, and then click Open.
4 You will be prompted to import the BMP files that accompany the GSD files.
Click Open to import each of the selected BMP files.

manufacturer.
