Communication via PROFINET IO interface

Profinet device integration

Frame 37(5)-20250226-122529.png

The GSD-file is available for download in the Download Center of the OndoSense support website.

A device master file (GSD-file) is required for the configuration of a Profinet IO device. It describes the configurable functions of the device and must be integrated into the development environment (e.g. Tia Portal). The GSD-file is found on the Download Center of the OndoSense support website.

Module overview

The functions (modules) described in the GSD-file allow reading out and configuration of the sensor and are defined by the following variables:

  • Module ID: Name of the concerned module/description of its function

  • Size: Size of the data to be transferred in Bytes

  • Module type:

    • Input module: Cyclical data is transferred from the device to the control.

    • Output module: Cyclical data is transferred from the control to the device.
      Parameter module: Configuration data is exchanged noncyclical.

  • Sub-module ID: Name of the concerned sub-module/description of its function

  • Data type: Data type of data in a sub-module
