• In the Labels tab, look at the Revision field. If the revision displayed is new enough for the
features you will use, you do not need to update the GSD file.
To update the GSD file do the following:
• In the GSD library tree, expand Slaves and Delta Computer Systems, Inc. and right-click on the
Delta RMC Family entry. On the shortcut menu, click Delete. Click Yes when asked.
• Click New Device, which is the left-most button on the GSD library toolbar.
• Browse to the DELT1630.GSD that shipped with RMCWin, select that file, and click Open.
• When you check the revision of the GSD file now (per the instructions above), you should see
Rev 1.2 or newer.
5. Add and configure a Delta RMC Family slave device to the network.
• In the GSD library tree, expand Slaves and Delta Computer Systems, Inc. and double-click on
Delta RMC Family.
• On the General tab, select the station address of your master in the Station field of the dialog
that is displayed.
• In the Modules tab, click Add. In the dialog that is displayed, select the appropriate module
from the Available Modules list and click OK. For help on determining the appropriate
configuration module, refer to the Determining the Appropriate GSD Configuration Module
section of the PROFIBUS Configuration topic.
• In the Address (or SLC Address) tab, review the default addressing and change it if necessary.
• Click OK.

5.4.5 Configuring a PROFIBUS-DP Network with SyCon
Before reading this topic, you should read and understand PROFIBUS Configuration. This topic
only gives a specific example of doing one step of the configuration process. In addition, Hilscher
may, and probably will, change the steps taken here slightly with each version of SyCon System
Configurator.
The steps that follow came from SyCon System Configurator 2.082:
1. Start SyCon System Configurator.
2. If you are modifying an existing PROFIBUS-DP network, open your current configuration file.
