Device Data Base File (GSD)

This PROFIBUS adapter requires a (GSD) file for implementation.

This file is available for downloading from

www.ab.com/networks/gsd/

. The GSD file is used by your

configuration tool to help you set up your system. Your configuration
tool automatically reads the GSD file and extracts defaults used in
the data exchange.The file is in ASCII format and you can view it
with any text editor.

This device data base file changes when new FLEX I/O modules are
introduced. When you add new modules to your system, go to

www.ab.com/networks/gsd/

for the latest version of this file.
