PROFIBUS Configuration
GSD File
The GSD file for the AN-X-PBSLV is provided on the distribution CD
and on the AN-X module itself.
To access the GSD file on the AN-X, run the web interface (see page
58). At the bottom of the home page, there is a link: AN-X-PBSLV GSD
File. To view the GSD file, click on this link. To save the GSD file to
your computer, right click on this link and select Save Target As…
Configuring Slaves on the AN-X-PBSLV
You configure the slaves that the AN-X module is emulating or
monitoring on PROFIBUS by creating a comma separated variable
(CSV) file using either a text editor or a spreadsheet such as Excel, then
sending the configuration to AN-X using the AN-X web interface.
The configuration file defines the network baud rate and the properties of
the PROFIBUS slaves the AN-X module is emulating or monitoring.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is defined by a line with the keyword BaudRate in the first
field and an entry that selects the baud rate in the second field.
Possible entries for the baud rate value are:
Baud rate File entry
12 Mbps 12m
6 Mbps 6m
3 Mbps 3m
1.5 Mbps 1m5
500 Kbps 500k
93750 bps 93k75
19200 bps 19k2
9600 bps 9k6
Examples:
BaudRate, 12m
BaudRate, 9k6
