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
