separated by commas and this can be edited. Generally, one pair of digits corresponds to
the configuration of a submodule of the DP slave. For the coding of the submodule
properties, please refer to the description of the DP Base programming interface (section,
structure of the configuration data). For information on creating and using GSD files, please
refer to the description of the DP Base programming interface (section, significance of GSD
files).

Click the “Browse” button if you want to use a GSD file as a template from which you can

with a modular DP slave, only the configuration data of the first submodule definition are
adopted.
