Linking the TC-Plug modules using the GSD file
The TC-Plug modules can be linked into the TwinCAT System Manager
through a GSD file. A GSD file can configure any PROFIBUS slave in the
TwinCAT System Manager. Clicking with the right mouse button on the
CP5412A2 master card causes the following context menu to appear in the
TwinCAT System Manager:
Adding a TC-Plug module
to the I/O configuration
The menu command Append Box… opens a dialogue with all the available
PROFIBUS modules.
Linking a slave using the
GSD file
If the Generic Profibus Box is selected, a File Open dialog box appears.
The corresponding TC-Plug GSD file can be selected in this dialog window.
Once you have confirmed with OK, the TwinCAT System Manager reads
the device-specific parameters from the GSD file and inserts the TC-Plug
into the existing configuration.
